Question

What is the probability that the coin lands heads up and an even number of pips shows on the upper face of the die?

(a) 1/12
(b) 1/4
(c) 1/6
(d) 1/2

Answer 1

The probability of the coin landing heads up and an even number of pips on the die is 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the coin landing heads up and an even number of pips showing on the upper face of the die can be calculated using the product rule. The coin has a 1/2 probability of landing heads up, and the die has a 1/6 probability of showing an even number of pips. Therefore, the probability of both events occurring is (1/2) x (1/6) = 1/12.
