A coin is tossed and a six-sided die numbered 1 through 6 is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a head and then rolling a
number greater than 5.
The probability of tossing a head and then rolling a number greater than 5 is
(Round to three decimal places as needed.)
step 1
we have that
the probability of tossing a head is equal to
P=1/2
step 2
The probability of rolling a number greater than 5
we have
total cases=6
possible values greater than 5=1
so
P=1/6
step 3
The probability of tossing a head and then rolling a number greater than 5 is
P=(1/2)*(1/6)
P=1/12
P=0.083
