Question

Olive flipped a coin and rolled a number cube with the numbers 1-6 on it.What is the probability that she flipped heads and rolled an even number? (Picture provided)

Answer 1

The probability that Olive flips heads and rolls an even number is 3/12 or 1/4.

These events are known as independent events which means the result of one event will not affect the other. The find the probability of the two events, you must multiply the probability of flipping heads and rolling an even number on a number cube.

1/2 x 3/6 = 3/12 OR 1/4 :)
