If you flip three fair coins, what is the probability that you'll get a tail on the first flip, a head on the second flip, and another tail on the third flip?

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

1/2×1/2×1/2=1/8
