Question

A coin is flipped and a normal dice is rolled. What is the probability of getting a tail and a 5?

A. 12;
B. (1/12);
C. (1/3);
D. (1/6)

Answer 1

B. (1/12); The probability of getting a tail and a 5 is 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of getting a tail and a 5, we need to multiply the probabilities of getting a tail and a 5 separately. The probability of getting a tail when flipping a coin is 1/2 or 0.5. The probability of getting a 5 when rolling a normal dice is 1/6 or approximately 0.167. Therefore, the probability of getting a tail and a 5 is (1/2) x (1/6) = 1/12 or approximately 0.083.
