What is the probability of getting heads, tails, and heads, in that order, when flipping a coin? are these events dependent or independent? a. 1/8 dependent b. 1/8 independent c.1/6 dependent d. 1/6 independent

The possiblities that exist:

H, H, H
H, H, T
H, T, H   <
H, T, T
T, H, H
T, H, T
T, T, H
T, T, T

The answer is 1/8. Now the problem that you gave us isn't dependent upon anything, so more specifically the answer is 1/8 independent.

Nothing has actually happened therefore no odds have been decreased or increased.
