In a coin and die combination experiment, what is the total number of outcomes?

To determine the total number of outcomes in a coin and die combination experiment, you can break it down by analyzing the individual outcomes of each item being combined.

First, consider the outcomes of the coin toss. A single coin has two possible results: heads or tails. This gives us 2 outcomes from the coin.

Next, for the die roll, a standard six-sided die has six possible outcomes, which are the numbers 1 through 6. Therefore, there are 6 outcomes from the die.

To find the total number of combined outcomes from these events (the coin and the die), you multiply the number of outcomes for the coin by the number of outcomes for the die.

That is:

• Outcomes from the coin: 2

• Outcomes from the die: 6

So, the calculation is:

2 (outcomes from coin) x 6 (outcomes from die) = 12 total outcomes.

Thus, the answer indicating the total number of outcomes in this combination experiment is indeed correct.
