Question

a die is rolled and a coin is tossed at the same time. what is the probability of rolling a 2 and the coin landing on tails?

Answer 1

1/12

Explanation:

The probability of rolling a two is

P(2) = number of twos/ total

=1/6

The probability of landing on tails

P(tails) = tails/total

=1/2

P(2, tails) = P(2) * P(tails) since they are independent events

= 1/6 * 1/2

=1/12
