Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total outcomes of tossing a coin = 2

The total number of possible outcomes of flipping coin three times =2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Favorable outcome= (Head, tail, Head) in order

i.e. Number of Favorable outcomes = 1

We know that , Probability = [tex]\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

Therefore , The required probability [tex]=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

Hence , the probability she gets (Head, tail, Head) in that order[tex]=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
