Question

If you flip 2 coins, what is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads

Answer 1

Answer:

This states that the probability of the occurrence of two independent events is the product of their individual probabilities. The probability of getting two heads on two coin tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 or 0.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of getting 2 heads with 2 coins can be broken into 2 steps:

The first coin must show Heads AND

the second coin must show Heads.

p(h,h)= P(H) <----- and means multiply

P(H) x P(H)= 1/2 x 1/2 =1/4
