Answer:

4.39%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are no marking to identify the coins, so the order is not important. Since the order not important we use combination instead of permutation.

A coin have 2 possible outcome, head or tails. Assuming the coin is fair each outcome will be 50% or 0.5 chance. If heads= A and tails =B, then the probability of 2 pennies will be:

P(A=2) = 2C10 * A^2 * B^(10-2)

P(A=2) = 10*9/2 * 0.5^2 * 0.5^8

P(A=2) = 0.0439= 4.39%

puteri [66]
The transformation is a reflection on the y-axis. 

If we take the y-axis as the mirror line as shown in the diagram below, we can see that the distance of vertices A, B, and C to the mirror line are equals to the distance of vertices A', B' and C' to the mirror line.
