Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sample space for flipping two coins, one quarter and one nickel, would consist of four equally likely outcomes: heads/heads, heads/tails, tails/heads, and tails/tails. This is known as the sample space, which represents all possible outcomes that could occur in a random experiment. Choices A and D are incorrect because they do not represent all possible outcomes. Choice B is also incorrect because it is possible for both coins to yield the same result (i.e., both heads or both tails).
