Question

You roll a six-sided number cube and flip a coin. What is the probability of rolling a number greater than 1 and flipping heads? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer: Probability of rolling a number more than one: 5/6

Probability of heads: 1/2

Probability of both: 1/2 + 5/6 = 4/3

Explanation:

Answer 2

• 5/12

Explanation:

Number cube:

• Numbers greater than 1 → 5 options out of 6

Coin:

• Heads → 1 out of 2

Required probability:

• P(>1 & H) = 5/6*1/2 = 5/12
