Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

A coin has two outcomes which are either the head or the tail. When a coin is tossed, the probability of getting a head is 1/2 and likewise for a tail.

Therefore, the probability for two coins being tossed at the same time to both land on heads will be:

= 1/2 × 1/2

= 1/4
