Question

A coin is tossed, and a standard number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the coin shows heads and the number cube shows an even number? A. one-sixth B. 1 C. one-fourth D. one-half

Answer 1

The correct answer to this question is this one: "C. One-Fourth."

The total possibility that the head and even no on dice appears is 3.

The total possible choices are 12 {head ->(1,2,3,4,5,6) & tail->(1,2,3,4,5,6)}. so the probability is 3/12= 1/4.

These are independent events so the total probability will be the product of the individual probabilities:
