Question

PLEASE HELP!!
A coin is tossed and a single 6-sided die is rolled. Find the probability of landing on the tail side of the coin and rolling a 5 on the die.

Answer 1

What is the probability of a coin landing on the tail side and what is the probability of rolling a 5 on a die?

Answer 2

I think you have to divide 5 to 6

Answer 3

is it 1/2

Answer 4

So you reckon that there is a 5-out-of-6 chance that the dice will land on 5?

Answer 5

I don't really now but im sure its 1/2

Answer 6

For the coin, there are 2 sides. The probability of landing on tails is 1/2, or 50%. There is only one '5' on a die. Six sides. So the probability of rolling a 5 is 1/6.

Answer 7

Probability of head and 3 on a die is:

P( head and 3 ) = p(head )* P(3)

We multiply probabilities because we have 2 independent events.

We know that p(head) = 1/2

Also p(3) = 1/6

Then P( head and 3) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
