Question

A coin is tossed and a die is rollled find the probability of getting a head and a number greater then 2

Answer 1

Let's find both of the probabilities and multiply them.
First, we know that the theoretical P(Getting Heads) is 1/2, because there's two sides to a penny.
Next, we know that a dice has 6 sides, so P(Rolling a number greater than 2) is going to be 4/6, or 2/3.
Let's multiply our probabilities.
We have:
1/2 × 2/3, which get's us 2/6, or 1/3.
P(Flipping heads and rolling greater than 2) = 1/3.
Hope this helped!
