A Correct answer
Explanation

When tossing two coins, the sample space is {HH, HT, TH, TT}. There is only one outcome with two tails (TT) out of four possible outcomes.

AI explanation

When two coins are tossed, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 multiplied by 2, which equals 4; these outcomes are HH, HT, TH, and TT. The favorable outcome, getting two tails, occurs exactly once (TT). By the classical definition of probability, the chance is 1 favorable outcome divided by 4 total outcomes, yielding 1 divided by 4.
