Solution

The possible outcomes when two coins are tossed together are {HH,TT,HT,TH}. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes when two coins are tossed is 4.

Now, the possible outcomes of getting at most two tail are {HH,TT,HT,TH}, which means the number of favourable outcome is 4.

Therefore, probability P of getting at most two tail is:

P=44=1

Hence, the probability of getting at most two tail is 1.
