If a coin is tossed three times, what is the probability that on the first toss the coin lands tails, on the second toss the coin lands tails, and on the third toss the coin lands heads. Select the correct option.
A) 1/2
B) 1/8
C) 1/6
D) 1/4
E) 3/8
Since there are two options for how a coin can land (heads or tails), that means there is a 1/2 chance to land on tails and a 1/2 chance to land heads. To solve this problem you multiply each probability for each flip together. (1/2) chance to land tails the first time * (1/2) chance to land tails the second time * (1/2) chance to land heads the third time = (1/8) chance to land tails the first two times and heads the third time.   Answer: 1/8
