Question

If you roll a fair 6-sided die and then flip a fair coin, what is the probability that you roll greater than 1 and get heads with the coin?

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

The odds for the die are 5 positive out of 6 possible outcomes

-- 2,3,4,5,6 are the positive outcomes - the ones you want - but there are a total of 6 outcomes or ways the die could land

The odds for the coin are 1 positive outcome out of 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails)

Once you have 5/6 for the die and 1/2 for the coin, you multiply them together.
