For an unbiased coin how many possible outcomes are there for a coin tossed 8 times?

For an unbiased coin how many possible outcomes are there for a coin tossed 8 times? Correct Answer 2<sup>8</sup>

Calculation:

While tossing a coin there are 2 possible outcomes (H or T), so for every toss possible cases are multiples by factor two.

Possible cases = [(H or T), (H or T), (H or T), (H or T), (H or T), (H or T), (H or T), (H or T) , i.e.,

Total cases = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 256 or 28

An unbiased coin is tossed. If the result is head, a pair of unbiased dice is rolled and the number obtained by adding the number on the two faces are noted.
