Question

The six sides of a number cube are labeled 1,2,3,4,5, and 6. You flip a coin and roll the number of the cube. What us the theoretical probability that the coin lands on heads and u roll the number less then 5.Write your answer a fraction

Answer 1

The probability is 1/3

Explanation:

At any point in time, the probability that a coin lands on head = 1/2 given that the coin is fair

Rolling a number less than 5;

The numbers are 1,2,3 and 4

The probability of rolling a number less than 5 is 4/6

So we proceed to

multiply both probabilities to get the answer to the question,

we have this as;

4/6 * 1/2 = 2/6 = 1/3
