You flip a coin twice.

What is the probability of getting heads and then getting tails?

Write your answer as a percentage.

1 answer

The probability of getting heads on the first flip is 1/2 (or 50%).

Since each flip is independent of the other, the probability of getting tails on the second flip is also 1/2 (or 50%).

To find the probability of both events occurring (getting heads then getting tails), we multiply the probabilities: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%.

Therefore, the probability of getting heads and then getting tails is 25%.
