What is the probability of obtaining twotwo headsheads in a row when flipping a coin? Interpret this probability.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer with explanation:→When a coin is tossed n, timesTotal Possible outcome [tex]=2^n[/tex]→When a coin is tossed twice ,Total Possible outcome =2²=4={ HH, TT, HT, TH} →Total favorable outcome , that is getting 2 heads continuously=1or , Total favorable outcome , that is getting 2 heads continuously=1→Probability of an event [tex]=\frac{\text{Total favorable outcome}}{\text{Total possible outcome}}[/tex] →Probability of obtaining n' heads in a row when flipping a coin n times [tex]=\frac{1}{2^{n}}[/tex]→Probability of obtaining two heads in a row when flipping a coin two times [tex]=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
