Question

if two coins are thrown simultaneously then the probability of getting same outcome on both the coins is

Answer 1

There are 4 possible outcomes. The outcomes HH, HT have heads as the first coin. The outcomes HT (already listed) and TT have tails for the second coin. 

Put together, the outcomes HH, HT, TT either have heads on the first coin or tails on the second coin (or both at the same time). 

Therefore, the probability is 3/4. The only time it doesn't happen is if the outcome is TH

Hope it helps you

Answer 2

Hi ,

If two coins are thrown

simultaneously ,

Total possible outcomes = { HH, HT,

TH , TT }

Number of total possible outcomes

= 4 ----( 1 )

Number of favourable outcomes = 2

i.e { HH, TT }

Probability = ( 2 )/( 1 )

= 2/4

= 1/2

I hope this helps you.
