Question

A card is drawn at random from a standard pack of playing cards.

Then a fair coin is flipped.
What is the probability of selecting a black card and the coin landing on heads?

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

Half of the cards are black, so P(black) = 1/2.

A fair coin has equal probabilities, so P(heads) = 1/2.

Therefore, P(black and heads) = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4.
