Question

A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability of getting a 
tail 
and a number greater than 
2

Answer 1

These are both independent events, so you multiply your two probabilities for the coin and the die together

Answer 2

A coin's probability is always 1/2 and a dice with a number greater than 2 is 4/6 since there are 4 number greater than 2 on a dice.

Answer 3

So you multiply your probabilities together, 1/2 * 4/6

Answer 4

Which gives you 4/12 or 1/3 when you simplify
