Question Prompt: The question prompt is: "What is the probability of getting heads and then getting heads when flipping a coin twice?"
Total Possible Outcomes: Determine the total number of possible outcomes when flipping a coin twice. Since there are two possible outcomes for each flip (heads or tails), and the coin is flipped twice, the total number of possible outcomes is 2×2.Calculation: 2×2=4
Favorable Outcome: Identify the favorable outcome. The favorable outcome is getting heads on the first flip and heads on the second flip, which is just one specific outcome.Calculation: There is only 1 way to get heads and then heads.
Calculate Probability: Calculate the probability of the favorable outcome. The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes.Calculation: Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes = 41
