Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each toss of a fair coin has two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). The probability of getting heads on the first toss is $ \frac{1}{2} $, and the probability of getting tails on the second and third tosses is also $ \frac{1}{2} $ each. Therefore, the combined probability is $ \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} $.
