Total no. of outcomes = 4
HH, HT, TH, TT (where H is head and T is tail)
No. of favourable outcomes = 1
HH (coming up two heads together)
Probability = No. of favourable outcomes / Total no. of outcomes = 1/4
Answer = 1/3
Let S be the event of tossing two coins
Sample space S = {HH,TT,HT,TH}
Let A be the event where at least one head shows up
A = {HH,TH,HT}
Let B be the event where two heads show up
B = {HH}
Now,
Probability of event B given that event A happens = P(B/A) = n(B)/n(A) = 1/3
