Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Suppose you have a fair coin; this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up. Suppose you dip it three times, these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up and then heads up again. so the answer is 1/8 or 12.5%

(hope I wasnt late!!)
