The probability of getting heads (H) on the first flip is 1/2. If H is obtained on the first flip, then the probability of getting tails (T) on the second flip is also 1/2. Therefore, the probability of getting H then T is:
P(H then T) = P(H) x P(T | H)
P(H then T) = 1/2 x 1/2
P(H then T) = 1/4 or 0.25
Therefore, the probability of getting H then T is 1/4 or 0.25.
