Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

Probability denotes the possibility of something happening. It is a field of mathematics that studies the probability of a random event occurring. From 0 to 1.

the value is expressed.

When a coin is tossed, the chance of it landing on heads is 1/2, and vice versa.

So, we divide 1/2 by the number of times it lands on heads to get 1/4. However, when the second one landed on tails, we must multiply it by 1/2 again, making 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8.

hope this helps:)
