If both tosses are fair, the probability of that outcome is one in four.

This is easiest to solve by working out the probability that no heads show and subtracting this from 1 to give the probability that at least one head shows: Assuming unbiased coins which won't land and stay on their edge, the probability of head = probability of tail = ½ → probability no heads = probability 5 tails = ½^5 = 1/32 → probability of at least one head = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32 = 0.96875 = 96.875 % = 96 7/8 %
When flipping two fair coins, each coin has a 50% chance of landing on heads. The probability of both coins landing on heads is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each coin: (0.5 \times 0.5 = 0.25) or 25%. Therefore, the odds against both coins landing on heads are 3 to 1, meaning there are three outcomes (one head and one tail, or two tails) for every one outcome where both coins show heads.

Theoretical probability = 0.5 Experimental probability = 20% more = 0.6 In 50 tosses, that would imply 30 heads.

It is 1/12.
1 in two but they say the side with heads is slightly Heavier.
None, since that would imply that in 18 cases the coin did not show heads or tails!
