The possible outcomes when two coins are tossed = {HH, HT, TH, TT}

Total number of possible outcomes = 4

\therefore P(getting\ two\ heads) = \frac{favourable\ outcomes}{total\ outcomes} = \frac{1}{4}

Hence, the given statement is not correct. This is because one of each can occur in two different ways. Hence the mentioned events are not equally likely.
