A coin is tossed 10 times, and at least 8 of the tosses were heads. How many different sequences of tosses could there have been?

At least 8 means that   either 8, 9 or 10  heads were tossed

 

So  we have

 

C(10, 8)  + C(10,9)  + C(10,10)  =

 

45   +  10   +     1   =

 

56 possible sequences
