What is the probability that heads or tails shows twice in a row exactly once in the ten coin tosses. I also want to understand the process followed to achieve it.

Can both the sequences HH and TT appear, or only one of them?

See this. It is not exactly the same but it sounds like you two should work together.

Not sure exactly what "heads or tails shows twice in a row exactly once" means. What about TTHHTTHTTT? Heads shows twice in a row exactly once; does that count?

HH or TT. Anything can appear. But both should not appear. It is either HH or TT only once in the sequence

@bof The sequence you posted is not valid. It should be something like HHTHTHTHTH or THTHTHTHTT.

Let us denote "Head" by $H$ and "Tail" by $T$. Now, to constract a sequence at first we choose what we want to repeat twice $H$ or $T$. Suppose $H$, then choose the position, here we have $1$st to $9$th place. Other portion can be filled up only in one way, e.g.,
we choose $3$rd place, then the sequence: $HTHHTHTHTH$

No, Its not complete answer, but it is the process to construct the favored sequences.
