Keegan Hurst · Answer 1

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 1/4 because their is a total number of 4 outcomes (denominator) and there in only 1 chance (numerator) that you will not get tails.

Taniyah · Answer 2

The probability is 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given it is obtained that a fair coin is tosses two times in succession

The set of equally likely outcomes in {HH, HT, TH, TT}.

Which shows that there is one (H, H) chance in which there is no tail

So there is one chance of not getting tail out of four possible outcomes.

Probability (P) = ¼

P = 0.25
