Question

Harold flips a coin and rolls a standard number cube. Find the probability that the coin will show tails and the cube will show a seven. Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Add both of the probabilities up: 1/2 + 1/6 which equals, 2/12 and simplifies to : 1/6

Answer 2

Answer: The probability that the coin will show tails and the cube will show a seven is 0.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Harold flips a coin with two possible outcomes i.e. Head and Tail.

And rolls a standard number cube with 6 possible outcomes, i.e. 1,2,3,4,5,6.

According to question, the coin will show tails and the cube shows a seven.

But cube do not have 7 as an outcome.

So, the probability that the coin will show tails and the cube will show a seven is 0.
