The probability of getting heads on the first flip is 1/2 (or 50%).
Since each flip is independent of the other, the probability of getting tails on the second flip is also 1/2 (or 50%).
To find the probability of both events occurring (getting heads then getting tails), we multiply the probabilities: 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%.
Therefore, the probability of getting heads and then getting tails is 25%.
