A fair coin is tossed two


times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is StartSet HH comma HT comma TH comma TT EndSet

1 answer

The total number of outcomes is 4 (HH, HT, TH, TT).

The event of getting exactly one head can occur in 2 ways (HT, TH).

So, the probability of getting exactly one head is 2/4 = 0.5.
