Question

7. A coin is tossed and a day of the week is selected. What is the probability that you get tails and a day that begins with "S"?

Answer 1

1/7

Explanation:

Lets start with the probability of flipping tails, 1/2.

Then the probability of the day starting with the letter s, 2/7.

Calculate the final probability by multiplying the two together.

`(1)/(2)*(2)/(7)=(2)/(14)`

You can simplify 2/14 down to 1/7
