You can make a diagram
heads heads
heads tails
tails heads
tails tails
one way out of 4 is both tails
two ways out of 4 is a tail and a head
so
1/4 for both tails
and 1/2 for a head and a tail (tail and head same as head and tail)
heads heads
heads tails
tails heads
tails tails
one way out of 4 is both tails
two ways out of 4 is a tail and a head
so
1/4 for both tails
and 1/2 for a head and a tail (tail and head same as head and tail)
