Question

Suppose you flip a penny and a dime. Use the following table to display all possible outcomes. If each single outcome is equally likely, you can use the table to help calculate probabilities. What is the probability of getting one head and one tail, on either coin?

Answer 1

50% can I see the table but pretty sure it's 50% or 25%

Answer 2

50%

Explanation:

The next table display all possible outcomes.

penny | dime

head | head

head | tail

tail | head

tail | tail

If each single outcome is equally likely and there are 4 options , then all outcomes has a probability of 1/4 = 0.25 or 25%. The probability of getting one head and one tail is 50% because it's obtained by two outcomes.
