The probability of flipping a quarter and getting heads is 1 in 2. the probability of rolling a die and getting 6 is 1 in 6.
1 in 2.
probability of rolling a 3 = 1/6 probability of flipping a head = 1/2 therefore, overall = 1/12
It is 0.25
1/24
These would be independent events; therefore, we can multiply the probabilities of each of the two events. Probability of flipping a head: 1/2 Probability of rolling an odd number with a single die: 1/6 Required probability : 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12
1 in 2.
probability of rolling a 3 = 1/6 probability of flipping a head = 1/2 therefore, overall = 1/12
The probability of rolling a 2 on a die before flipping a heads on a coin is 1 in 12. The probability of rolling a 2 is 1 in 6. The probability of flipping heads is 1 in 2. Since these are sequentially unrelated events, you simply multiply the probabilities together.
It is 0.25
The probability of getting tails on a coin is SMALLER than rolling a number greater than 2
The probability of flipping tails on a perfect coin in a perfect toss is 0.5. The probability of rolling 1 on a die is 1 in 6. Likewise, the probability of rolling 6 on a die is 1 in 6. So the probability of rolling either 1 or 6 is 2 in 6 (which is 1 in 3).
1/24
You take the probability of each event and multiply them. In the case of the given example, your odds or flipping a head and rolling a 5 would be 1/2 * 1/6, which equals 1/12.
These would be independent events; therefore, we can multiply the probabilities of each of the two events. Probability of flipping a head: 1/2 Probability of rolling an odd number with a single die: 1/6 Required probability : 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12
A die has six sides, so the probability of rolling an even number is 1 in 2, or 50-50. A coin has two sides, so the probability of flipping the coin and getting heads is 1 in 2, or 50-50. The probability that both will happen together is the one in two OF one in two, or one in FOUR chance that both will happen. So, the probability is 25%.
Complementary events are events that are the complete opposite. The compliment of event A is everything that is not event A. For example, the complementary event of flipping heads on a coin would be flipping tails. The complementary event of rolling a 1 or a 2 on a six-sided die would be rolling a 3, 4, 5, or 6. (The probability of A compliment is equal to 1 minus the probability of A.)
a three on a dice is 1/6 and aheads on a coin is 50%
