Question

wo coins are tossed simultaneously, list all the possible outcomes. Find the probability of getting (i) heads on both (ii) heads on one (iii) no heads in a single throw of two coins.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 1/4

2. 1/2

3. 1/4

Answer 2

2 coins are tossed simutaneously

So u get the sample space as

H,H    T,T     H,T     T,H

1. Getting both heads = 1/4

2. Heads on one = 2/4 = 1/2

3. No of heads in a single throw of two coins is either 2 or 1. The probablility is 1/2.
