Question

Andy flipped a coin once and rolled a six-sided number cube numbered 1 through 6. The list below shows the possible outcomes when flipping the coin and rolling the number cube.

H, 1 H, 2 H, 3 H, 4 H, 5 H, 6
T, 1 T, 2 T, 3 T, 4 T, 5 T, 6

What is the probability of the coin landing on tails and the number cube landing on an even number?
A.
1/3
B.
1/2
C.
1/4
D.
3/4

Answer 1

C. 1/4

Explanation:

The probability of landing tails is 50%, since coins are two sided.

If a cube has 6 numbers, the probability of getting an even number is also 50% since 2,4,and 6 are even while 1,3, and 5 are odd.

The probability of getting both would be 25% (I multiplied 1/2 by 1/2)
