In a simultaneous throw of two coins, find the probability of getting
(i) two heads
(ii) exactly one head
(iii) no tail
(iv) at least one tail
(i) Outcomes = (H,H), (H,T),(T,H),(T,T)
Total number of outcomes = 4
Two heads occurs ony once so total number of favorable outcomes = 1
P(two heads)= ![]()
(ii) Outcomes = (H,H), (H,T),(T,H),(T,T)
Total number of outcomes = 4
Exactly one head occurs 2 times so a total number of favourable outcomes = 2.
P(exactly one head) = 2/4
(iii) Outcomes = (H,H), (H,T),(T,H),(T,T)
Total number of outcomes = 4
No tails occurs only one time when there are two heads = 1
so total number of favourable outcomes = 1
P(no tails) = 1/4
(iv) Outcomes = (H,H), (H,T),(T,H),(T,T)
Total number of outcomes = 4
Atleast one tails occurs 3 times
so total number of favourable outcomes = 3
P(atleast 1 tail) = 1/4
