Question

When we flip a coin and roll a die what is the probability of getting a number five and a tail

Answer 1

Given:

We flip a coin and roll a die and get a number five and a tail.

Required:

We need to find the probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we find the total outcomes

for this if we flip coin first and get Head and then we roll a die

the possibility for this event is

(H,1)

(H,2)

(H,3)

(H,4)

(H,5)

(H,6)

now if coin get tail

(T,1)

(T,2)

(T,3)

(T,4)

(T,5)

(T,6)

so the total outcomes are 12

here we need number 5 and tail means (T,5) so the outcomes for event is 1 and total outcomes is 12.

`P=\frac{outcomes\text{ of event}}{total\text{ outcomes}}=(1)/(12)`

Final answer:
