Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

HT represent the probability of tossing a head then Tail.

There is 4 possible results and only 1 give us HT.

We call this theoretical probability. which is

[tex] \frac{x}{y} [/tex]

where x is favorable outcomes and y is total number of outcomes.

So there is a 1/4 probability of getting a head followed by a tail.

Explanation: When you toss two coins, the possible outcomes can be:

1) A head followed by a head.
2) A head followed by a tail.
3) A tail followed by a head.
4) A tail followed by a tail.

Therefore,
Total possible outcomes = 4

Now, the given condition is a head followed by a tail. In the possible outcomes there is only one (i.e; 2) that satisfies this condition.

Therefore, outcome of getting head followed by tail = 1

Finally,
P(getting head followed by tail) = outcome of getting head followed by tail / Total possible outcome.

Which is 1/4.

Hope this helps.
