Mark flips a coin twice. How many outcomes are in the sample space
The sample space refers to the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment. In this case, Mark is flipping a coin twice.
To determine the number of outcomes in the sample space, we need to consider all possible combinations of the two coin flips.
For each coin flip, there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails. Since Mark is flipping the coin twice, we can multiply the number of outcomes for each flip together.
So, there are 2 outcomes for the first flip and 2 outcomes for the second flip, giving us a total of 2 * 2 = 4 possible outcomes in the sample space.
