Question

Helen rolls the dice and flips a coin. Work out the probability that she gets a 4 and tail.

Answer 1

= 1/2×1/6=1/12.

There is a one in 6 chance that you will roll a 4 and a one in 2 chance that you will flip heads .

Answer 2

1/12

Explanation:

P(4) = number of 4's/ total

There is one 4 on dice and there are 6 different numbers

P(4) = 1/6

P(tail) = number of tails/ total

There are 2 sides on a coin and only one is a tail

P(tail) = 1/2

P(4 and a tail) = P(4)*(Ptail) since they are independent events

= 1/6*1/2

= 1/12
