A coin is tossed five times, and outcomes are recorded. How many possible outcomes are there?

Solution:

According to the question, a coin is tossed five times, with the outcome being either heads or tails each time, leaving two choices. The following are all possible outcomes:

²C₁ × ²C₁ × ²C₁ × ²C₁ × ²C₁ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

²C₁ × ²C₁ × ²C₁ × ²C₁ × ²C₁ = 32 outcomes.
