Two coins are flipped. What is the probability of both coins landing on heads? ?

We have the following:

When a coin is tossed there are only two possibilities. Head or tails, therefore, the probability is


p=(1)/(2)

now, the probability that both will land on the head is the product of the probability that they will head off, thus


\begin{gathered} p=(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)=(1)/(4) \\ 0.25\cdot100=25 \end{gathered}

The probality is 1/4 or 25%
