Probability of Head in coin flip when coin is flipped two times

Probability of getting a head in coin flip is $1/2$. If the coin is flipped two times what is the probability of getting a head in either of those attempts?

I think both the coin flips are mutually exclusive events, so the probability would be getting head in attempt $1$ or attempt $2$ which is:

$$P(\text{attempt $1$}) + P(\text{attempt $2$}) = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1$$

$100\%$ probability sounds wrong? What am I doing wrong. If I apply the same logic then probability of getting at least $1$ head in $3$ attempt will be $1/2+1/2+1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5$ which I know for sure is wrong. What do I have mixed up?

You are confusing the terms "independent" and "mutually exclusive".  These are not the same thing.  In fact events cannot be both "independent" and "mutually exclusive".  It's either one, the other, or neither.

"Mutually exclusive" simply means that the two events cannot happen together. If A happens then B does not and if B happens A does not.

"Independent" simply means that the occurrence of one event is not conditional on the occurrence of the other. The probability of A happening does not depend on whether B happens or not, and vice versa.

Let $H_n$ be the indexed event of getting a head on the $n^{th}$ flip.

Given an unbiased coin, $P(H_1)=P(H_2)=\frac 1 2$

These events are independent so $P(H_1 \cap H_2) = P(H_1)\times P(H_2)$.  The outcome of one coin toss does not influence the outcome of the other.

However they are not mutually exclusive, so $P(H_1 \cup H_2) = P(H_1)+P(H_2) - P(H_1 \cap H_2)$.  Both coins can turn up heads.

Putting it together: $$\therefore P(H_1 \cup H_2) = \frac 12 + \frac 1 2 - \frac 12 \times \frac 12 = \frac 3 4$$

Let $A$ be the event of getting a tail in both tosses, then $A'$ be the event of getting a head in either tosses. So $P(A') = 1 - P(A) = 1 - 0.5*0.5 = 0.75$

Probability of having head in a coin flip is $1/2$, when you flip $2$ times then the probability you have at least $1$ head is equal to:

$1 - P(\text{no head}) = 1 - P(2\, \text{tail}) = 1 - 1/2\times1/2 = 3/4$ or $75\%$

After flipping the coin two times there are four possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT.

Three of them have heads: HH, HT, TH.

So the probability of getting heads in two coin flipps is $3/4$.
