How to calculate the probability of tossing two coins?
1. Two different coins are tossed randomly. Find the probability of: Therefore, n (S) = 4. Let E 1 = event of getting 2 heads. Then, E 1 = {HH} and, therefore, n (E 1) = 1. Therefore, P (getting 2 heads) = P (E 1) = n (E 1 )/n (S) = 1/4. Let E 2 = event of getting 2 tails. Then, E 2 = {TT} and, therefore, n (E 2) = 1.
