### Instruction: When flipping a fair coin, what is the probability that the first two flips are both heads? Express your answer as a common fraction.### Response: To find the probability of two independent events both happening, I can multiply the probabilities of each event.
The probability of flipping heads on a fair coin is 1/2, so the probability of flipping heads twice in a row is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.
