Ask students what the number of possible results of one flip are; then write down each result (heads and tails). <BR/><BR/>Then you ask them to deal with each possibility: Suppose I flipped a heads on the first coin, and now I'm flipping the second coin. What are the possible results on the second coin? (Obviously, it's just heads and tails again.)<BR/><BR/>And so on. <BR/><BR/>Dealing with one event at a time can help simplify the task.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16517742269292732960noreply@blogger.com
