Question

Jason rolls a fair number cube labeled 1 through 6 ans then flips a coin what is the probability that he rolls a 3 And flips a head

Answer 1

Given: Jason rolls a fair number cube, then flips a coin.

To find:  What is the probability that he rolls a 3 and flips a head.

Solution:

• Now we have given that Jason rolls a cube labeled from 1 to 6.

• So the probability of getting any number is: 1/6

• Also the probability of rolling a 3 is: 1/6

• Now we gave given that he flips a coin,

• So the probability of getting head will be = 1/2

• As these two events are totally different so therefore getting both the events will be = Probability 1 x Probability 2

             Probability = (1/6) x (1/2) = 1/12

Answer:

            The probability that he rolls a 3 and flips a head is 1/12.
