Question

Brian rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin.

What is the probability of obtaining a 2 and a head?
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

1)Since it is a fair dice the probability of getting a 2 is 1/6 since there are 6 sides in a dice.

2)In a coin there are only 2 possible outcomes, which are heads and tails so the probability of getting heads is 1/2.

3)To get the probability of rolling a fair dice and getting 2 with also getting heads from a fair coin you multiply both probabilties. So you do 1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12.
