Question

A coin is tossed 5 times in a row. What is the size of the sample space of this experiment? a. 5 b. 7 c. 10 d. 32.

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Explanation:

First throw has 2 possible outcomes (head or tail).

These are independent one from another and we combine them bu multiplication (not by addition)

2x2x2x2x2=32
