Question

A fair coin is tossed 3 consecutive times. What is the probability that the result of the first toss is heads and the results of the next two are tails?
A: 1/8
B: 1/6
C: 1/2
D: 1/4

Answer 1

Answer: a). 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the coin is fair, then the odds of getting heads or tails should be equal, 12.

Then 3 tosses of tails will have a chance of 12⋅12⋅12=18.
