Question

you roll a 6 sided die with faces numbered 1 through 6, and toss a coin. what is the probability of rolling a 5 or getting tails?

Answer 1

Since the 2 are completely independent of each other...

The probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6 right?
And the probability of getting tails is 1/2

So the probability of both would be

\[\large \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = ?\]

Answer 2

so 2/12?

Answer 3

No, remember it is multiplication....1 times 1 is 1 :)

\[\large \frac{1}{12}\]

Answer 4

oh yeah! oops my bad haha. but thank you so much! you're a lifesaver.

Answer 5

lol no problem :)
