Question

A coin is tossed and a square spinner labeled A,B,C,D is twirled. Determine the probability of obtaining: a head and consonant

Answer 1

For a coin, there are two possible outcomes

It is either head or tail

For square spinner labeled A, B, C, and D

the outcomes are

Therefore, to find the probability of obtaining head or a consonant

The probability of getting head =1/2

The probability of consonant =3/4

`P(HnC)=(1)/(2)*(3)/(4)=(3)/(8)`

Answer = 3/8
