Flipping a coin is a simple event. Flipping 3 coins is a compound event, meaning 2 or more events combined. Figuring out the sample space, or possible outcomes, of compound events is made easier by making a chart or tree diagram. Righting out all the possible outcomes helps to figure out not only the sample space (the number on the bottom of our probability) but also all the ways to get what we want (the number on the top of the probability). See the examples from the book on different ways to write out the possibilities.
