Flip two fair coins. Then the sample space is {HH, HT, TH, TT} where T = tails and H = heads. The outcomes HT and TH are different and the HT means that the first coin showed heads and the second coin showed tails. The TH means that the first coin showed tails and the second coin showed heads. Let A = the event of getting at most one tail. What is the probability of event A?   a. 0.25   b. 0.66   c. 0.75   d. 0.50
