    the estimated probability that heads comes up at least once - in how many tosses?

    If you mean in a single toss of the two coins, its (1,501 + 1,505 + 1,502)/6000 = 0.7513, answer b)

    you have at least one head in HH HT and TH, add those numbers together and divide by total number of tosses.

    4508/6000 = 0.7513
