What are two possible outcomes?

What are two possible outcomes? means there are two different things that can happen next.

Imagine you're eating a cookie. It's your favorite kind, chocolate chip! But it could be either soft and gooey or crunchy and chewy. That’s what having two possible outcomes feels like, you know there are two choices, but you don’t know which one will happen.

Like Choosing a Toy

Think of it like picking between two toys at the store. You could get a teddy bear, or you could get a robot. Both are fun, but they’re different. That’s what having two possible outcomes is, you have two good choices to look forward to.

Like Flipping a Coin

Or maybe it's like flipping a coin. When the coin lands, it can be either heads or tails. You don’t know which one will happen, but you know there are only two options.

So next time you're faced with two choices, whether it’s picking between toys, eating cookies, or flipping a coin, remember that means there are two possible outcomes.
