Question

Colin rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin.
What is the probability of obtaining a 3 and a tail?
Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

In a simple way, we know that both are independent events, therefore, in the case of the dice it has 6 faces, therefore the probability of 3 coming out is 1/6 and in the case of the coin it only has two options, which means that the probability is 1/2.

Now the final probability is the multiplication of these events, that is:

1/6 * 1/2 = 0.083

Which means that the probability of these two events happening is 8.3%
