Check below, please.

1) Let's fill in our Possibility Tree Diagram considering that the text tells us that each day you flip a coin. Since there are two possibilities either W or T we can start out this way:

2) Day 1 Day 2

So our tree is already filled let's now enlist all the possible outcomes

3)


DD,DW,WD,WW

Each letter for one day.

4) Now let's check what is the probability of playing Water tag on both days:


\begin{gathered} First\:Day:\:(1)/(2) \\ Second\:Day:(1)/(2) \\ On\:Both\:Days:(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}

Thus this is the answer.
