Advertisements
Solution
Number of outcomes when the coin is tossed for the first time = 2
Number of outcomes when the coin is tossed for the second time = 2
Thus, there would be 2 outcomes, each time the coin is tossed.
Total number of possible outcomes on tossing the coin five times = 2\[\times\]2\[\times\]2\[\times\]2\[\times\]2 = 32
