A Correct answer
Explanation

Possible outcomes for two coins: {HH, HT, TH, TT}. Total = 4. Favorable (HH) = 1. Probability = 1/4.

AI explanation

When two coins are tossed, the total number of possible outcomes is 4, consisting of HH, HT, TH, and TT. Favorable outcomes for getting a head on both coins is only 1, which is HH. Using the classical probability formula, the probability is 1 divided by 4.
