The correct Answer is:
To find the probability of getting exactly one head when a coin is tossed twice, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total number of outcomes When a coin is tossed, there are 2 possible outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T). When the coin is tossed twice, the total number of outcomes can be calculated using the formula for the number of outcomes of independent events: \[ \text{Total Outcomes} = 2 \times 2 = 4 \] The possible outcomes are: 1. HH (Head, Head) 2. HT (Head, Tail) 3. TH (Tail, Head) 4. TT (Tail, Tail)
