a fair coin is tossed and then a die is rolled. what is the probability of tossing tails on the coin and rolling 3?

OpenStudy (radar):

The coin is 1 out of 2 or 1/2, the 3 is 1 out of 6 1/6 The two instances are independent of each other so the chances are: 1/3 x 1/6 or 1/18

would the answer be 1/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Radar is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry ella, your final answer is correct. I can't edit my previous post. 1/2*1/6 = 1/12
