Question

Stephanie flipped a fair coin once and rolled a number cube numbered 1 through 6 once. What is the probability that Stephanie flipped a head and rolled a 4

Answer 1

`(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

The probability that Stephanie flipped a head in a fair coin is 1/2

The probability that Stephanie rolled a 4 in a 6 numbered cube is 1/6

The combined probability for these 2 events to happen simultaneously is the product of 2 independent probability

`P = (1)/(2) * (1)/(6) = (1)/(12)`
