You can put this solution on YOUR website! A biased coin is tossed twice. This coin has a 90% chance of landing heads up. What is the probability that the result is
a. Two heads?
P(h and h) = 0.9*0.9 = 0.81
----------------------------------
b. One head?
P(one head) = 0.9*0.1 + 0.1*0.9 = 0.09 + 0.09 = 0.18
