The probability of flipping heads on the first coin is 1/2 (since there are 2 equally likely outcomes - heads or tails).
The probability of flipping tails on the second coin is also 1/2.
Therefore, the probability of both events occurring (flipping heads on the first coin and tails on the second coin) is:
(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
So, the probability of flipping heads on the first coin and tails on the second coin is 1/4.
What is the probability of flipping heads on the first coin and tails on the second coin?
Write your answer as a fraction or a whole number. With fractions, use a slash ( / ) to separate the numerator and denominator.
