Question

A coin is tossed, and a die is rolled. Find the probability of landing on the tail side of the coin and rolling a 1 on the die?

Answer 1

Probability[Tail side of coin and rolling 1 on die] = 1/12

Explanation:

Given:

Coin tossed

Die roll

Find:

Probability[Tail side of coin and rolling 1 on die]

Computation:

Probability of an event = Favorable outcome / Total outcomes

Probability of getting tail on coin = 1 / 2

Probability of getting 1 on die = 1 /6

P[A and B] = P(A) x P(B)

Probability[Tail side of coin and rolling 1 on die] = Probability of getting tail on coin x Probability of getting 1 on die

Probability[Tail side of coin and rolling 1 on die] = [1/2][1/6]

Probability[Tail side of coin and rolling 1 on die] = 1/12
