* I have a question. The sentence below says, "A PENNY, a NICKEL, and a DIME are flipped....." Does this go in order? That is,.....for example:

Question

(H,T,H)The first H is for PENNY, the T is for NICKEL, and the last H is for DIME?

A penny, a nickel, and a dime are flipped at the same time. Each coin can come out either heads (H) or tails (T).

the second n
the third d
