1/2*1/2*1/2=1/8

The probability of you getting tails on the first flip, heads on the second flip, and another tail on the third flip is 1/8.

Ashleigh Schneider · Answer 2

Probability of first flip being tails = 1/2

probability of second flip being heads = 1/2

probability of 3rd flip being tails = 1/2

probability of all happening = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
