Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When two coins are flipped, the sample space consists of the following outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT. The outcomes HT and TH are not the same event, making the outcomes where one head appears (HT, TH) twice as likely as the other outcomes (HH, TT), thus not all outcomes are equally likely.
