The answer would be 1/8

Answer 2

There are 20 skirts in total and five of them are yellow.
The probability that she will pick a yellow skirt is 5/20 (simplifies to 1/4)
Multiply this by the probability that the coin will land on tails 1/2
1/4 x 1/2 =
1/8
Maria has a 1/8 chance that she will pick a yellow skirt AND land the coin on tails.
