Question

Describe the probability of rolling a die and landing an even number while tossing a coin and landing on heads.

A. as likely to happen as not to happen

B. impossible

C. likely

D. unlikely

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

The first step is to find the possibility of the die landing on an even number which is 3/6 as there are 6 possible turn outs and 3 of them are even. Which means the probability is 3/6 or in its simplified version 1/2. The second step is to find the probability of landing on heads which is 1/2 as there are 2 possible turn outs and 1 of them is heads. Which means the probability is 1/2 (it cannot be simplified) . To find the probability of both we need to times them together so 1/2×1/2= 1/4. So the probability of getting both is 1/4 which is unlikely probability so the answer is D .
