Question

You toss a coin and spin a spinner. the spinner has four equal sections that are numbered from 1 to 4. find the probability of getting tails and spinning a 4.

also, make a table to show the sample space and find the number of outcomes.

Answer 1

12.5% or .125

Explanation:

4 options for the spinner all with equal probability, chance of spinning any number is 1/4; 2 options for the coin of equal probability so any side has a probability of 1/2. 1/4*1/2=1/8 chance; this is equal to 12.5% or .125.

there are 8 possible outcomes; 4 with spinner, 2 with coin, 4*2=8.
