Question

  A coin is tossed and a spinner with four equal sections numbered 1 through 4 is spun.  Can someone explain to me how to do this?

What is the probability that the coin will land with heads up and the spinner will stop on 3?    A.

       B.        C.        D.

Answer 1

You multiply the probability of the first event by the probability of the second event. In this case it would be (1/2) * (1/4) = 1/8
