If a coin is tossed twice, what is the probability that on the first toss the coin lands heads and on the second toss the coin lands tails?
Answers
A) 1/6
B) 1/3
C) 1/4
D) 1/2
E) 1
first toss the coin lands heads = 1/2   the second toss the coin lands tails = 1/2   For independent even A and B, (A∩B) = A*B   probability that on the first toss the coin lands heads and on the second toss the coin lands tails = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4   Hence, answer will be 1/4.
