Question

HELP You roll a number cube and flip a coin. What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 1 and flipping heads? Write your answer as a mixed number. WIll give points

Answer 1

⁵/₁₂

Explanation:

1. The probability or rolling a number > 1 (given all sides have equal chances):

Possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; Wanted outcomes: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

5/6 of the possible outcomes are wanted.

2. Chance of flipping heads (given both sides have an equal chance):

Possible outcomes: heads, tails; Wanted outcomes: heads

1/2 of the possible outcomes are wanted.

3. Probability of both: ⁵/₆ * ¹/₂ = ⁵/₁₂
