Q. You flip a coin twice.What is the probability of getting tails and then getting tails?Write your answer as a percentage.____%
Coin Flip Probability: The possible outcomes when flipping a coin are \{Heads, Tails\}. The probability of getting tails on a single flip is P(Tails)=Total outcomesFavorable outcomes=21
Independent Events: Since the flips are independent events, the probability of getting tails on the first flip and tails on the second flip is the product of their individual probabilities. Therefore, P(\text{Tails and then Tails}) = P(\text{Tails on first flip}) \times P(\text{Tails on second flip}) \(\newline= \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Percentage Conversion: The probability as a fraction is 41. To convert this probability to a percentage, we multiply by 100. (41)×100=25%
