Question

A die is rolled and a coin is tossed, find the probability that the die shows an odd number and the coin shows a head.

Answer 1

Heya user,

Of the coin --> we get to choose 1 out of 2 events
And at the same time, we also choose 1 out of every 2 no.s of a die..

So, P( Event ) = [ 3 ] / [ 2*6 ] = 1/4

Answer 2

The events are independent of each other.

P(Odd number) = 3/6 => 1/2

P(Head) = 1/2

As, mentioned the two events are indpendent so,

P(Odd number and Head) = 1/2 *1/2 => 1/4
