Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer: - Given, A coin is tossed two times.

                Then sample space S = {HH, TT, HT, TH}

                P(H) = 0.75,  then P(T) = 1 - P(H) = 1 - 0.75

                                             P(T) = 0.25

                Where, H = Head  and T = tail

               Find the probability that in two tosses you get exactly one head?
