Try running your coin toss through this formula.


I did.

Chance of heads on one toss = 0.50

Chance of heads at least once on two tosses = 1-((1-0.50)*(1-0.50)) =
0.75

Chance of engine failure on single = 0.001

Chance of at least one engine failure with two engines =
1-((1-0.001)*(1-0.001)) = 0.001999
