Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:C. They have the same chance of winning.Step-by-step explanation:Probability (2 tails) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4Probability( 2 heads = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.Therefore the Probability they match = 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2.The probability of they don't match = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 because all probabilities add up to 1. There are only 4 possible results and their probabilities must add up to 1.
