The outcome of each throw is either Heads or Tails.

To find:

The list of all the possible outcomes of the 3 throws.​

Solution:

Let H represents heads and T represents tails.

For each throw we have 2 choices either H or T.

For three throws the total number of possible outcomes is

[tex]2^3=8[/tex]

Now, list the possible outcomes as shown below.

HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT

Therefore, the list of 8 possible outcomes is HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT.
