When two coins are tossed, the results that can be achieved are HH, HT, TH, and TT where H represents a heads and T represents a tails. The probability of getting two heads is 1/4, and by symmetry the probability of getting two tails is 1/4. The probability of getting one heads and one tails in some order is 1/2 which is the most likely outcome.

Who is asking these questions anyway? Why cant we insert E for edge in the equation. Would a coin NEVER land on its' edge? How about in the water? Didn't George attempt to throw a dollar across the Delaware River? Did we ever hear if he made it? If it landed in the muddy bank, odds are better it landed on its edge. If someone keeps asking these vague questions, no one can ever give a definitive answer unless a lot of stupid assumptions are made. Now they won't be stupid if you first list them. Now, let's see your list.
