True or false When tossing 2 coins p(at least 1 head) = p(not all tails)

Please help!

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When you toss two coins, these are the possible outcomes: TT TH HT HH P(at least 1 heads): TT TH <--- HT <--- HH <--- So P(at least 1 heads) = 3/4 P(not all tails) TT TH <--- HT <--- HH <--- P(not all tails) = 3/4 This is an obvious result since "not all tails" means the same as "at least one heads".

So is it false?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

From my response above, didn't you notice that 1. both probabilities are 3/4? 2. "at least 1 heads" means the same as "not all tails"?

Oh okay. Sorry
