Question

Kane used a probability simulator to roll a 6-sided number cube and flip a coin 100 times. The results are shown in the tables below:

Using Kane's simulation, what is the probability of rolling a 2 on the number cube and the coin landing heads up?

Answer 1

I though i would subtract 2 from the total but guess not how it is .

Answer 2

would be 87/100

Answer 3

take a look at the table

what is the probability of rolling a 2?

Answer 4

32

Answer 5

not quite, remember that probability of rolling a 2 = (number of 2's/total number of rolls)

Answer 6

your answers should be a fraction

Answer 7

32/6

Answer 8

how many times was the die rolled?

Answer 9

5 1/3 or 5.33

Answer 10

I'll ask again, how many times was the number cube rolled?

Answer 11

6

Answer 12

please read the problem again

how many times was the number cube rolled?

Answer 13

100

Answer 14

right

so, the probability of rolling 2 = (number of 2's/total number of rolls) = ?

Answer 15

2/100?

Answer 16

how many times did 2 get rolled?

Answer 17

50

Answer 18

please read the table again

how many times did 2 get rolled?

Answer 19

32

Answer 20

right, so probability of rolling 2 = (number of 2 rolled/total number of rolls) = ?

Answer 21

2/32

Answer 22

not quite, let's try again...

how many times did 2 get rolled?

Answer 23

32

Answer 24

right, and how many total rolls were there?

Answer 25

100

Answer 26

32/100

Answer 27

yes! now let's move on to the next step of the problem

Answer 28

now, we need to find the probability of the coin landing heads up

probability of heads = (number of heads/total number of coin flips) = ?

Answer 29

55/6

Answer 30

how many times was the coin flipped?

Answer 31

100

Answer 32

right, so...

probability of heads = (number of heads/total number of coin flips) = ?

Answer 33

55/100

Answer 34

right, now we multiply the two probabilities together

(32/100)*(55/100) = ?

Answer 35

.176

Answer 36

great! that's it

Answer 37

i would convert to fraction

Answer 38

176/1000

Answer 39

thanks
