Question

A card is drawn at random from a standard pack of playing cards.

Then a fair coin is flipped.
What is the probability of selecting a 6 and the coin landing on heads?

Answer 1

1/27

Explanation:

1/52 cards

1/2 coin

2/54=1/27

Answer 2

1/26

Explanation:

There are 4 packs in a regular card deck. Hence, we have four 10s.

The probability of selecting a 10 is thus 4/52 = 1/13

The probability of getting the coin to land on its tail is 1/2.

The probability of getting a 10 and a tail flip = 1/2 * 1/13 = 1/26
