Question

A game includes rolling a number cube with numbers 1-6 and then flipping a coin.

What is the probability of rolling a 5 and getting tails?

Answer 1

Probability of rolling a 5 on number cubeStep-by-step explanation: -1/6

Probability of getting tails- 1/2

Probability of rolling a 5 and getting tails -1/12

Answer 2

`(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

Since the probabilities of rolling a die and of flipping a coin are independent, we have:

P(rolling a 5) = 1/6 P(tails) = 1/2

Multiplying these probabilities:

`(1)/(6) * (1)/(2) = (1)/(12)`
