Two coins are flipped. What is the probability that both coins land on heads?

Solution

Two coins are flipped. What is the probability that both coins land on heads?

Solution

\frac{1}{4}

Solution steps

The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown two times are

2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{2}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of both coins land on heads:

1

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{1}{2 ^{2}}

2^{2} = 4

= \frac{1}{4}
