Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your instructor wants you to find the emperical probability of getting HH, etc.
You have to actually do the experiment.
Take two different coins and throw them. When they land record the pattern
you get: i.e. HH, or HT, or TH, or TT
Do this 40 times.
Count the number of HH patterns, e.g. let's say you have 5.
Then p(HH)=5/40 = 1/8
Do the same for HT, TH, and TT

stan H.
