Question
ProbabilityTwo coins are tossed, find the probability that two heads are obtained. Note: Each coin has two possible outcomes H (heads) and T (Tails).Options1/41/23/41
Solution
The probability of getting heads on a single coin toss is 1/2 (since there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails).
Since the two coin tosses are independent events, the probability of getting heads on both tosses is the product of the probabilities of getting heads on each individual toss.
So, the probability of getting two heads is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.
Therefore, the correct option is 1/4.
