Bailee Ayers · Answer 1

8 times because you take 4 times 2 and get 8

Nigel Duffy · Answer 2

Answer: 16

Reasoning:

There are 2 outcomes if you flip only one coin (H or T).

There are 2^2 = 2*2 = 4 outcomes if you flip two coins (HH, HT, TH, TT).

There are 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8 outcomes if you flip three coins.

There are 2^4 = 2*2*2*2 = 16 outcomes if you flip four coins.
