The probability of getting a head is 1/2 and if you toss it 4 times, the probability of 4 heads is (1/2)^4=1/16 since the tosses are independent events.
1 in 2 to get tails on first toss 1 in 2 to get heads on second toss To get tails on first toss and heads on second toss, probability is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1 in 4
There are four different ways that two coins can land: T T T H H T H H. Only one of them is two heads, so if the coins are fair, then the probability is 1/4 = 25% .
There are 4 possible outcomes. There are 2 outcomes (heads or tails) on the first toss and 2 on the second toss. The possibilities are HH, TT, HT and TH.
If you toss the coins once only, it is 1/4.

If you toss them enough times, the probability is 1. For just one toss the probability is 1/4.
The probability of getting a head is 1/2 and if you toss it 4 times, the probability of 4 heads is (1/2)^4=1/16 since the tosses are independent events.
1 in 2 to get tails on first toss 1 in 2 to get heads on second toss To get tails on first toss and heads on second toss, probability is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1 in 4
There are four different ways that two coins can land: T T T H H T H H. Only one of them is two heads, so if the coins are fair, then the probability is 1/4 = 25% .
When h=head, t=tails First toss: heads/tails (1h/1t) Second toss: heads/tails (2h/1h1t*2/2t) Third toss: heads/tails (3h/2h1t*3/1h2t*3/3t) Fourth toss: heads/tails (4h/3h1t*4/2h2t*6/1h3t*4/4t) In short, 1+4+6+4+1=16 Chances of getting 2 heads and 2 tails = 6/16 * 100% = 37.5%
Coin tosses are what we call Independent Events, meaning that the results of one toss have no effect on the next toss or any thereafter. Therefore the probability of each toss is 1/2. If, however, you want to know the probability of tossing two coins, and each coin landing heads-up, you simply multiply their probabilities together, resulting in 1/4.

There are 4 possible outcomes, HH, HT, TH, TT. If we assume the odds of tossing heads or tails on any toss is 1/2 (50:50) the odds of tossing heads twice in a row is 1/4 (or 25%).
There are 4 possible outcomes. There are 2 outcomes (heads or tails) on the first toss and 2 on the second toss. The possibilities are HH, TT, HT and TH.
