Answer:

The probability is 0.25

Explanation:

From the given it is obtained that a fair coin is tosses two times in succession

The set of equally likely outcomes in {HH,HT,TH, TT}.

Which shows that there is one (H,H) chance in which there is no tail

So there is one chance of not getting tail out of four possible outcomes.

Probability (P) = ¼

P = 0.25
