Question

Flip one coin and then roll one die.

What is the probability of getting a tail on the coin and a number less than 5 on the die?

Answer 1

I'm thinking this is 0 because the two events are mutually exclusive.

Answer 2

The answer must be a fraction might I add.

Answer 3

The probability of getting a tail on the coin is 1/2. The probability of getting a number less than 5 on the die is 4/6. The two events are independent so the combined probability is their product:
\[\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{6}=?\]
