what is the probability of getting two tails when two coins are tossed?

When two coins are tossed, each coin has two possible outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T).

Total possible outcomes

• Coin 1: H or T
• Coin 2: H or T

So, total outcomes = 2 × 2 = 4 These outcomes are:

1. HH
2. HT
3. TH
4. TT

Favorable outcomes for getting two tails

• Only one outcome: TT

Probability calculation

Probability=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of outcomes=14\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{1}{4}Probability=Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes​=41​

Answer: The probability of getting two tails when two coins are tossed is 1/4 or 0.25 (25%).
