The answer depends on how many times the coin is tossed. The probability is zero if the coin is tossed only once!
Making some assumptions and rewording your question as "If I toss a fair coin twice, what is the probability it comes up heads both times" then the probability of it being heads on any given toss is 0.5, and the probability of it being heads on both tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25.
If you toss it three times and want to know what the probability of it being heads exactly twice is, then the calculation is more complicated, but it comes out to 0.375.

A coin is tossed 100 times how many times would you expect to get heads?
The probability of a heads is 1/2. The expected value of independent events is the number of runs times the probability of the desired result. So: 100*(1/2) = 50 heads
Fair coin is tossed 11 times What is the probability that a Exactly 9 heads appear b At least two heads appear c At most 8 heads appear?
Prob(Exactly 9 Heads) = 0.0269 Prob(At least 2 Heads) = 0.0327 Prob(At most 8 Heads) = 0.9673
What is the probability that 6 rolls of a fair die will show four exactly 5 times?
5 out of 36
What does square of probability explain?
If p is the probability that an event will happen once, then the probability that it will happen just twice is p2. The probability it will happen 3 times is p3. The probability it will happen at least once ( ie once or twice or three times ore more times is p + p2 + p3 + ... = p(1-p). For "or" you add probabilities, for "and" you multiply probabilities.
What is the theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube if it is rolled 300 times?
The theoretical probability of rolling a 5 on a standard six sided die is one in six. It does not matter how many times you roll it, however, if you roll it 300 times, the theoretical probability is that you would roll a 5 fifty times.
