Question

A coin is tossed and a fourth section spinner is spun once a tree diagram shows the possible outcomes for the two events what is the probability of flipping tails on a coin and spinning a two on the spinner

Answer 1

The probability of flipping tails on a coin and spinning a two on a spinner is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of flipping tails on a coin and spinning a two on the spinner, we need to understand the probabilities of each event separately and then multiply them together.

P(H) = 1/2 (the probability of flipping heads on a fair coin)

P(2) = 1/4 (the probability of spinning a two on a fourth section spinner)

Since the two events are independent, we can multiply the probabilities: P(H and 2) = P(H) * P(2) = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8

Therefore, the probability of flipping tails on a coin and spinning a two on the spinner is 1/8.
