Question

Using a fair coin and a fair six-sided number cube, what is the probability of tossing tails and rolling a multiple of 2?

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

The probability of tossing tails on a fair coin is 1/2. The probability of rolling a multiple of 2 on a fair six-sided number cube is 1/2 (since there are three multiples of 2: 2, 4 and 6). Since these two events are independent, the probability of both events happening is the product of their individual probabilities: (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.
