    Its nCr = n! / (r!. (n-r) ! = n!/!. (n-1) ! = n

    Explanation:

    Here. the arrangement of outcome does not matters, and hence it is a combination. You should know that when arrangement matters then we have to calculate the permutation and its formula is n! / (n-r) !. However, here it is the combination, and hence its nCr or n!/r!. (n-r) !. And here r is 1 as we can have all heads or all tails. And n is n. Hence,

    Its nCr = n! / (r!. (n-r) !

    =n!/!. (n-1) !

    = n
