Question

Anders throws a 10-faced dice with numbers from 1 to 10. Then he spins a coin.

b) Find the probability of scoring: i) a head and a multiple of 3 ii) a tail and a prime number

Answer 1

3/20

1/5

Explanation:

Sample space :

10 - faced die :

(1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10)

Coin = (H, T)

P(H) = 1/2

Multiple of 3 = 3, 6, 9 = 3

P(Multiple of 3) = 3 / 10

P(H and multiple of 3) = 1/2 * 3/10 = 3 /20

2.)

P(tail) = 1/2

Prime numbers = (2, 3, 5, 7) = 4

P(A prime number) = 4 / 10

P(tail and prime number) = 1/2 * 4 /10 = 4 /20 = 1/5
