Answer:

answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Hello Love! The answer would be 1/4 because each time when flipping the coin you have a probability of 1/2 because you have equal chances of getting heads or tails then you multiply 1/2 by 1/2 and get 1/4

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are flipping a coin and we want to find the probability of flipping heads and heads.

Flipping a coin twice are events because the outcome of flipping 1 coin

does not affect the outcome of flipping the other coin.

First, find the probability of each event.

The probability of flipping headsnon the first coin toss is 1/2 since there

is 1 favorable outcome, flipping heads, and 2 possible outcomes.

The second flip will also be 1/2.

Now multiply the probabilities to get 1/4.
