Question

A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a head and a number greater than 1.

___.
​(Type an integer or a simplified​ fraction.)

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

Heads: 1/2

Number greater than 1

A dice has 6 sides. 5 are greater than 1

The probability is 5/6

P(heads and a die greater than 1) = 1/2 * 5/6 = 5/12 or a little less than 1/2
