A die is rolled and a coin is tossed.

Answer:

There are three outcomes in which tails occur with an even number (2, tails), (4, tails), (6, tails). The probability of this event is 3 / 12 = 1 / 4. The probability that tails and an even number do not occur together is. 1 - 1 / 4 = 3.4

Answer: The probability of an odd number is 1/2, and the probability of a tail is also 1/2, so the probability of both occurring is the product, 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation: The coin is fair, the probabilities of getting a head and a tail are equal to 12 . The probability of getting an even number on a die is 36=12 because among 6 results there are 3 even numbers
