Consider a fair coin that is tossed 12 times. Determine the number of possible outcomes for this experiment.
--------------------------------
The result of the experiment is like a 12 letter word where each
letter is either h(head) or t(tail)
-------------------------------------
Each letter position may be a "h" or a "t" so there
are 2^12 h/t patterns possible.
2^12 = 4096 possible outcomes
