A fair coin is tossed four times. Find the probability of obtaining: heads on the first two tosses and tails on the second two

So basically we cannot use the binomial distribution formula to solve this? And please explain your answer because I didn't get it that much

first u should get a head probability is 1/2 again u want a head probability is 1/2 then tail and tail again so probality is 1/2 and 1/2 again just multiply all probabilities because all the tosses are independent of each other

Is there any other way of solving it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats a lie coins aren't fair

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there is only one way to solve it?
