PLEASE HELP!! You are playing a game in which you must flip a coin and then roll a die. What is the probability of flipping a tails and then rolling a five?

Sagot :

The chances of that are 1/12 which is 0.083%

Answer:  1/12

===========================================================

Explanation:

1/2 is the probability of flipping tails because we have one side labeled tails out of 2 sides total.

1/6 is the probability of rolling a 5, because there's one side we want out of 6 total.

The two events (flipping the coin and rolling the die) are independent, allowing us to multiply those previously mentioned fractions:

(1/2)*(1/6) = (1*1)/(2*6) = 1/12
