Answer:

Explanation:

The probable results are:

Head + 1/2/3/4/5/6

Tail + 1/2/3/4/5/6.

B. This gives 12 results and tail + 5 is one of them, so the probability of getting that is 1/12.

C. A result with a head and a number less than 5 is available 4 times, making the fraction 4/12 or 3/4

Hope this helps

Answer:

1/12 and 1/3

Explanation:

There are 2 choices for flipping a coin (heads or tails) and 6 choices for rolling the die (1 - 6) so the total possible outcomes are 2 * 6 = 12. Of these, there's only one possibility where we get a tail and a 5 so the answer to b is 1/12. For c, there's only one head but there are 4 numbers less than 5 (1 - 4) so the total number of outcomes that satisfy our condition is 1 * 4 = 4 which makes the probability 4/12 = 1/3.
