Question

Suppose you want to figure out how likely it would be to spin red and flip tails. We call red and tails the event.

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation: We need to find the probability of obtaining the red and tails when the two are flipped at the same time:

`\begin{gathered} P\left(R\right)=(1)/(2) \\ P\left(T\right)=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The probability of the red and tails or P(Red and Tails) is as follows:

`\begin{gathered} P\left(R\text{ and }T\right?=P\left(R\right)* P\left(T\right) \\ \therefore\rightarrow \\ P\left(R\text{ and }T\right?=(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(4) \\ P\left(R\text{ and }T\right?=(1)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Conclusion: Therefore the probability is (1/4) or 25%.
