Question

if you flip a coin and roll a 6 sided die, what is the probability that you will flip a tails and roll 2

Answer 1

`(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

The combinations:

heads and 1, heads and 2, heads and 3, heads and 4, heads and 5, heads and 6, tails and 1, tails and 2, tails and 3, tails and 4, tails and 5, tails and 6

1. There are 12 combinations (count if you don't believe me). An easy way to find this is by multiplying the number of things you can get from the coin (2)and the number of things you can get from the die (6).
2. There is only one combination where you can get tails and roll 2, so the probability will be
   `(1)/(12)`

Answer 2

1/12.

Explanation:

6 sides and 2 sides. 2 possible outcomes for each side of the dice
