Question

You toss a coin and spin a spinner. The spinner has four equal sections that are numbered from 1 to 4. Find the probability of getting tails and spinning a 4.

Answer 1

4*2=8, 4=number of sections on the spinner, 2=number of sides on a coin

Answer is 1/8 probability

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

When I toss a coin, then probability getting head or tail on tossing will be 50 : 50 or
`(1)/(2)`

Similarly when we spin a spinner, total number of events n (s) = 4

and favorable event n(E) to get 4 is 1

Therefore, probability of getting 4 in one spin =
`(n(E))/(n(S))`

=
`(1)/(4)`

Now we have to calculate the probability of getting tails and spinning a 4 will be

p =
`(1)/(2)` ×
`(1)/(4)`

p =
`(1)/(8)`
