Question

A number cube is rolled, and a coin is tossed. What is the probability that a four is rolled and the coin comes up tails? A. 1over3, B.1over4, C.1over6, D.1over12

Answer 1

D. 1/12 is the answer

Explanation:

the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6, and the probability of flipping tails is 1/2. If you multiply 1/2 and 1/6 you get 1/12.

Answer 2

Probability of a dice rolling a 4 = 1/6
Probability of a coin coming up tails = 1/2

now we multiply the two probabilities together to find what the probability of BOTH occurring at the same time is.
1/6 × 1/2 = 1/12
Answer is D. 1 over 12
