when tossing 2 coins , the probability of getting exactly 1 tail is 1/4. True or False

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

draw a tree diagram to look at the sample space |dw:1405404800710:dw| so how many outcomes have only 1 tail.... and then is written over the total number of outcomes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here are all the ways to flip two coins HH HT TH TT 2 out of 4 of the ways have exactly one tail. So it's really 2/4 = 1/2

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

False

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

As @jim_thompson5910 , explained there are actually two events with exactly one head out of total 4 events and hence probability is 1/2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes,these guys are true...;) remove my medal.i made a mistake :)

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

Sorry I meant tail in my previous comment

OpenStudy (nincompoop):
