Coin tosses are what we call Independent Events, meaning that the results of one toss have no effect on the next toss or any thereafter.
Therefore the probability of each toss is 1/2.
If, however, you want to know the probability of tossing two coins, and each coin landing heads-up, you simply multiply their probabilities together, resulting in 1/4.

What is the probability of tossing four coins and getting four heads if the first two tosses are heads?
The conditional probability is 1/4.
What is the probability of NOT tossing two heads with two fair coins?
It is 3/4 or 0.75
What is the probability of tossing two coins and getting heads on both?
1/2
What is the probability of tossing two coins that are different?
The probability of tossing two coins that are different is 1 in 2, or 0.5.The probability of tossing something on the first coin is 1. The probability of not matching that on the second coin is 0.5. Multiply 1 and 0.5 together, and you get 0.5.
What is the probability of exactly three heads in four flips of a coin given at least two are heads?
If you know that two of the four are already heads, then all you need to find isthe probability of exactly one heads in the last two flips.Number of possible outcomes of one flip of one coin = 2Number of possible outcomes in two flips = 4Number of the four outcomes that include a single heads = 2.Probability of a single heads in the last two flips = 2/4 = 50%.
What is the probability of getting 2 heads when 2 coins are tossed?
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
What is the probability of tossing two heads on a coin?
1/4 (25%)
What is the probability of tossing four coins and getting four heads if the first two tosses are heads?
The conditional probability is 1/4.
What is the probability of NOT tossing two heads with two fair coins?
It is 3/4 or 0.75
What is the probability of tossing two coins and getting heads on both?
1/2
What is the probability of tossing three coins and having exactly two of them show tails?
2 out of 8
Probability of getting 1 head tossing two coins?
By tossing two coins the possible outcomes are:H & HH & TT & HT & TThus the probability of getting exactly 1 head is 2 out 4 or 50%. If the question was what is the probability of getting at least 1 head then the probability is 3 out of 4 or 75%
What is the probability of getting exactly two heads in three coin tosses?
33%
What is the probability that you toss a head or a tail?
Assuming a two-sided coin, and that you make the the toss, the probability of tossing a head or a tail is 100%. The probability of tossing a head is 50%. The probability of tossing a tail is 50%.
What is the probability of getting exactly 2 tails of tossing a coin?
The probability of getting two tails when tossing a coin is zero, because the coin can only have one result. If, one the other hand, you toss the coin twice, then the probability of getting two tails is 0.25, i.e. the probability of one tail, 0.5, squared.
What is the probability of tossing two coins that are different?
The probability of tossing two coins that are different is 1 in 2, or 0.5.The probability of tossing something on the first coin is 1. The probability of not matching that on the second coin is 0.5. Multiply 1 and 0.5 together, and you get 0.5.
What is the theoretical probability of tossing two coins?
Tossing two coins doesn't have a probability, but the events or outcomes of tossing two coins is easy to calculate. Calling the outcomes head (H)or tails (T), the set of outcomes is: HH, HT, TH and TT as follows: 2 heads = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 1 head and 1 tail, can be heads on first coin tails on second, or just the opposite, there's two possible events: (1/2)*(1/2) + (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/2 2 tails = same probability as two heads = 1/4
