Ten pennies lined up in a line can show the same number of heads/tails patternsas the highest binary number you can count to with ten bits.That's 1,024 .
Each time you toss two pennies, there are four ways they can land: H H H T T H T T One of the four ways is (Heads - Heads), so the probability of 2 heads is 1/4 or 25% . If the pennies are 'fair' (not loaded), and you toss them a large number of times, you should expect 2 heads roughly 1/4 of the time. Out of 20 tosses, that's 5 times. But don't bet on it.
No, when you toss a coin there is a 50 percent chance it will land heads up.
The probability that exactly one will land heads up is 0.15625
It is 0.5

There are two answers to this question. If it can only land on heads or tails up, then there is a 50% chance ( or half a chance) it will land heads up, but that's not necessarily true. But, if it can land on heads, tails, or sides, then there is a 16% chance it will land tails up.
No matter how many or few pennies were made, if you find one in the street, it must be eitheer head up or tail up.
