Question

Tim rolls a number cube labeled 1 through 6 and flips a coin. Which is the

probability that Tim rolls a number greater than 3 and flips tails?

Answer 1

There are 3 numbers on the cube greater than 3 ( 4, 5, & 6)

This means he has a 3/6 = 1/2 chance of doing that.

He has a 1/2 chance of getting tails on the coin.

The probability of doing both would be the probability of the cube roll x the probability of the coin toss:

1/2 x 1/2= 1/4

The answer is 1/4
