Suppose that a family has an equally likely chance of having a cat or a dog. If they have two pets, they could have 1 dog and 1 cat, they could have 2 dogs, or they could have 2 cats.

What is the theoretical probability that the family has two dogs or two cats?

Describe how to use two coins to simulate which two pets the family has.

The theoretical probability of the family having two dogs or two cats is 25%.

Take it this way. there is a 50% chance that you have one dog and one cat.
However, there is less chance of having two of one animal because

half of 50 is 25

Using coins, you can relate a coin to the probability of the animals. one dog and one cat is 50%. Two cats is 25%, and two dogs is 25%.
