Detailed explanation-2: -In an experiment of flipping two coins, there are four possible outcomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a coin is tossed twice, the sample space is HH, HT, TH, TT, where TH, for example, means getting tails on the first toss and heads on the second toss.

Detailed explanation-4: -A sample space is the set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment. When you toss a coin, there are only two possible outcomes-heads (h) or tails (t) so the sample space for the coin toss experiment is h, t .
