Two coins are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability of getting both tails?
Answer:
14
- When two coins are tossed simultaneously, the possible outcomes are
HH,HT,TH, and TT.
Total number of possible outcomes = 4.
- Let E be the event of getting both tails.
So, the favourable outcome is TT.
Number of favourable outcomes = 1. ∴ P(getting both heads)=P(E)=Number of favourable outcomes Total number of possible outcomes =14.
