Question

Jerry is rolling a die and flipping a coin.

What is the probability that he will roll an even number and the coin will land on tails?
1/5

Answer 1

3/6 x 1/2 i guess

Answer 2

When we use the word 'AND', then we must multiply the probabilities.
P(Getting an even number) = 1/2
P(Getting a tail) = 1/2

3/6 is the probability of rolling even
