URGENTAbel uses a probability simulator to roll a six-sided number cube 100 times and to flip a coin 100 times. The results of the experiment are shown below: Number on the Cube

Number of Times Rolled
1 l 12
2 l 18
3 l 30
4 l 22
5 l 10
6 l 8
Heads:34 Tails:66
Using Abel's simulation, what is the probability of rolling a 2 on the number cube and the coin landing on tails?
84/10,000
1,188/10,000
18/100
66/100

The running of the simulation serves to give us an approximate probability of each of the outcomes, so in this case, P(Tails)=66/100 and P(2)=18/100.
The probability of two independent things occurring can be written as P(A)*P(B).
Therefore, the probability of a 2 and tails is (66/100)*(18/100)=0.1188= 1188/10000
