Question

Ronald is asked to roll a die (numbered 1 to 6) and flip a quarter (heads and tails).

What is the probability that he will roll a 4 and the quarter will be tails? Round to the nearest percent.

A: 8%
B: 16%
C: 25%
D: 11%

Answer 1

A: 8%

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6.

The probability of tails is 1/2.

The probability of both is 1/6 × 1/2 = 1/12 ≈ 0.0833, or about 8%.
