Question

You flip a coin and roll a dice. What is the probability the coin lands on heads and the dice lands on a number less than 5?

Answer 1

`=1/3`

Explanation:

On a coin, the probability of heads:
`P(H) = 1/2`

ON a die, the probability of getting a number less than `5`:
`P(1,2,3,4) = 4/6`

`P(H and "no. less than "5) = 1/2 xx4/6`

`= 1/cancel2 xx cancel4^2/6`

`=2/6`

`=1/3`
