The "or" in the statement is addition; so even with one coin the probability of getting a head or a tail when spinning it is 1, and since the probability can never be greater than 1, the answer is 1. Correct. I suspect the questioner means something different. Probability of getting H & H = 1/2x1/2 = 1/4 Probability of getting H & T = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 Probability of getting T & H = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 Probability of getting T & T = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 So probability of getting just 1 head = 1/4 +1/4 = 1/2 Probability of getting 2 heads = 1/4 So probability of getting 1 or 2 heads = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4 Probability of not getting a head = 1/4 Similarly for switching heads and tails.
