I'm an idiot because the problem is worded poorly?
You should be more clear on when the coins are tossed.

You're an idiot because the wording is fine and when the coins are tossed makes no difference to the answer, you fucking idiot.

If the wording is fine then why does it generate so much confusion?
You sound like one of those shitty teachers who blames their students because the entire class is failing.

Impossible to answer due to wording. Answer could be 1/4, 1/3, or 1/2, depending on interpretation of question.

>If they are flipped in succession: 50%
If someone flips two coins at the same time, doesn't show them to you and they look at both of them and see 1 or 2 heads they can say "at least one is heads", likewise they can flip two coins in succession look at them and say the same thing if they see 1 or 2 heads. that's why it doesn't make a difference.

dumbass just repeating a question he found online to look smart without actually understanding it
if the first coin is heads then it's a 1/2 chance, if the state of the coin is unknown then it's 1/3, probability has no memory

you're not told the first coin is heads though. you're just told at least one is heads. Thats not the same thing

Im assuming you mean the order of HT and TH? You don't necessarily need to believe it. You can easily grab two coins and try this to see how it comes out to 1/3

Don't expect these fucking idiots to actually try it for themselves.

There are 4 states possible, HH, TT, HT, TH
each with 1/4 chance of occurring. The question eliminates the TT state, so only the states of HH, HT, and TH are possible. Each has a 1/3 chance of occurring. Therefore the answer is 1/3 for HH.
