I'm wondering about the possible outcomes if a coin is flipped ten times consecutively. Will it always land on heads or tails an equal number of times? Or could there be a variety of results?

When a coin is flipped ten times, it results in a sequence of heads or tails for each flip.

Each flip is an independent event, meaning the outcome of one flip does not affect the outcome of another.

Since there are two possible outcomes for each flip—heads or tails—we can calculate the total number of possible sequences by multiplying the number of outcomes for each flip.

For ten flips, this means 2 raised to the power of 10, which equals 1021.

Therefore, there are 1024 total possible outcomes when a coin is flipped ten times.
