Math Problem Statement
A fair coin is tossed 2 times A)write down all the outcome B)f find the robability of 1)2heads2)only tail
Solution
Let's break this down step by step:
A) Write down all the possible outcomes:
When a fair coin is tossed twice, the outcomes can be combinations of heads (H) and tails (T). The total number of outcomes is .
The possible outcomes are:
- HH (both heads)
- HT (first head, second tail)
- TH (first tail, second head)
- TT (both tails)
B) Find the probability of:
-
2 Heads (HH):
There is only 1 outcome with 2 heads: HH.
The probability is:
-
Only tails (TT):
There is only 1 outcome with both tails: TT.
The probability is:
