Two flips can have four possible results:
T - T
T - H
H - T
H - H
The question defines 'success' as either H-T or T-H.
Two successes out of four possibilities = probability of 2/4 = 1/2 = 50% .

If you alternate between flipping a coin and rolling a die what is the probability of rolling a 2 before flipping a heads?
The probability of rolling a 2 on a die before flipping a heads on a coin is 1 in 12. The probability of rolling a 2 is 1 in 6. The probability of flipping heads is 1 in 2. Since these are sequentially unrelated events, you simply multiply the probabilities together.
What is the theoretical probability that tossing 3 coins will all match?
The probability that the second coin matches the first is 0.5 .The probability that the third coin matches the first is 0.5 .The probability that the second and third coins both match the first is (0.5 x 0.5) = 0.25 = 25%
