[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of flipping heads on the first coin is 1/2 (since there are 2 equally likely outcomes - heads or tails).

The probability of flipping tails on the second coin is also 1/2.

Therefore, the probability of both events occurring (flipping heads on the first coin and tails on the second coin) is:
(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4

So, the probability of flipping heads on the first coin and tails on the second coin is 1/4.
