To determine the total number of outcomes, you need to multiply the number of outcomes for each individual event:

1. Marble: Assume there are 6 different marbles.
2. Spinner: Assume the spinner has 2 sections (for heads or tails).
3. Coin: A coin has 2 outcomes (heads or tails).

Now, multiply the outcomes together:

– Marbles: 6 outcomes

– Spinner: 2 outcomes

– Coin: 2 outcomes

So, the total number of outcomes is:

6 (marbles) * 2 (spinner) * 2 (coin) = 24 outcomes.

The correct answer is D) 24.
