Answer:

50/50

Explanation:

YOU SAID “but som ppl in my class got 3/4 or 2/4

cuz it’s TWO coins that tossed”

2/4 is also half it's still 50/50

The possible outcomes when two coins are tossed together are {HH,TT,HT,TH}. Therefore, the number of possible outcomes when two coins are tossed is 4.

Now, the possible outcomes of getting exactly one head are {HT,TH}, which means the number of favourable outcome is 2.

Therefore, probability P of getting exactly one head is:

P= 4/2 = 1/2

Hence, the probability of getting exactly one head is

1/2

In short ​ 1/2,2/4 is basically a half so getting one head is 50/50

Well your chance of have heads increase. It’s a 50/50 shot for one coin to land on head but when you add another coin your chance are doubled
