Question

Find the probability of getting two heads when two coins are tossed simultaneously.

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{4}$

When two coins are tossed simultaneously, the possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, and TT.
Favourable outcome={HH}
P(getting two heads)$=\frac{1}{4}$
Here, HH is called elementary event of the sample space {HH, HT, TH, TT}.
