We write H for 'head' and T for 'tail'. When two coins are tossed simultaneously, the possible outcomes are (H, H), (H, T), (T, H), (T, T), which are all equally likely. Here (H, H) means heads on the first coin (say on ₹1) and also heads on the second coin (₹2). Similarly (H,T) means heads up on the first coin and tail up on the second coin and so on
The outcomes favourable to the event E, 'at least one head' are (H, H), (H, T) and (T, H).
So, the number of outcomes favourable to E is .
