Open in App

Solution

When a coin is tossed once there are two possible outcomes : Head $(H)$ and tail $(T)$
When a coin is tossed four times the total number of possible outcomes is $2^{4} = 16$
Thus when a coin is tossed four times the sample space is given by :
${S = H H H H, H H H T, H H T H, H H T T, H T H H, H T H T, H T T H, H T T T, T H H H, T H H T, T H T H, T H T T, T T H H, T T H T, T T T H, T T T T}$
