Question

What is the probability that

both events will occur?
A coin and a die are tossed.
Event A: The coin lands on tails
Event B: The die is not a 6
P(A and B) = P(A) • P(B)
P(A and B) = [?]
Enter as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

0.42

Explanation:

there are two sides to a coin. there are six sides to a die.

P(tails) = 1/2.

P(not landing on 6) = 1 - P(landing on 6) = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6.

P(tails AND not landing on 6) = 1/2 X 5/6 = 5/12 = 0.42 to nearest hundredth
