Question

a number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. what is the probability of the cube landing on 5 or 6 and the coin landing on heads

Answer 1

◉The cube has 6 possible outcomes. The probability of either of

two of them occurring is 2/6 = 1/3 .

◉The coin has 2 possible outcomes. The probability of one of them is 1/2 .

⫸ (1/3) x (1/2) = 1/6 = (16 and 2/3) percent

Answer 2

The cube has 6 possible outcomes. The probability of either of
two of them occurring is 2/6 = 1/3 .

The coin has 2 possible outcomes. The probability of one of them is 1/2 .

The probability of both specified outcomes occurring is

(1/3) x (1/2) = 1/6 = (16 and 2/3) percent
