Question

Two coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting two heads.

Answer 1

Given: Two fair coins are tossed simultaneously. Sample space S = {HH, HT, TH, TT} 4 equally likely outcomes.

Step wise calculation:

1. Favorable outcomes = {HH} count = 1.

2. Total outcomes = 4.

3. Probability = `"Favorable"/"Total" = 1/4`.

P(two heads) = `1/4`.
