There are 2^4 = 16 number of outcome in total.

a)First and last flips come up heads. There are 4 outcomes here. Probability of the event is 4/16 = 1/4, or 25%.

- HHHH

- HHTH

- HTHH

- HTTH

b) at least 2 Consecutive flips that is heads. There are 8 outcomes. Probability of event is 8/16 = 1/2, or 50%

- HHHT

- HHTH

- HHTT

- THHH

- THHT

- HTHH

- TTHH

c) At least 2 consecutive flips that are the same. There are 14 outcomes. Probability of 14/16 = 7/8, or 87.5%

- HHHH

- HHHT

- HHTH

- HHTT

In a geometric progression:
a, b, c, d...
The common ratio can be obtained using:
b/a = c/b = d/c
b/a = 112 / 64 = 1.75
c/b = 196 / 112 = 1.75
d/c = 343 / 196 = 1.75
The common ratio = 1.75
