I really don't think it matters, you only have two outcomes H or T.  And for this you're finding the possible ways each event could occur.  And the probability that the event will occur it the number of possible outcomes for that event divided by the total number of outcomes.  Hope that helped!  --[[User:Kfox|-Kristen]] 19:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

So for this one are we assuming it's a fair coin, or probability p that it will flip heads? Does it matter?

I really don't think it matters, you only have two outcomes H or T. And for this you're finding the possible ways each event could occur. And the probability that the event will occur it the number of possible outcomes for that event divided by the total number of outcomes. Hope that helped! ---Kristen 19:42, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
