Question

If you flip a coin and roll a die, what is the probability that you will flip a heads and roll a 3?

Answer 1

`1/12`

Explanation:

When you flip a coin there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails) and when you roll a die there are six outcomes(1 to 6). Putting these together means you have a total of `2xx6=12` outcomes.

`P(H,3) = P(H) xx P(3)`

`= 1/2 xx1/6`

The chances of flipping a head and rolling a `3` is `1/12`
