Rolling a cube with 1-6 has 6 possibilities. Tossing a nickel only has 2, heads and tails. Hope I helped!!! :D

OK.

If you predict a number between 1 and 6, and
also predict heads or tails, then roll and flip,
the probability that the roll and flip will all fall
exactly like you predicted is

(1/6) x (1/2) = 1/12 = (8 and 1/3) % .

Do you have a question to ask ?
