What is the probability of rolling a three or a six on a die then tossing a heads on a coin?

First event is to roll a 3 or 6 on a die, which gives you a probability of 2 out of 6.
Second event is tossing a heads on a coin, so a probability of 1 out of 2.
Since both chances are not related, you can multiply both chances:
2/6 times 1/2 = 1/6 = 0,166666...

What is the probability of tossing at least three heads if a fair coin is tossed four times?
It is 0.3125
What is the probability of you getting three heads straight for tossing a fair coin three times?
It is 1/8 = 0.125
What is the probability of getting three heads in tossing a coin three times?
It is (1/2)3 = 1/8 or 0.125
What is the probability of not tossing three heads with three fair coins?
The probability of something NOT happening is the complement of the probability of something happening. Since the probability that you DO have 3 heads is 1/8 (that is, 1/2 cubed), the complement is 1 - 1/8 = 7/8.
What is the probability of tossing exactly three tails?
well it depends on what you are tossing, if its a coin then no. it can be heads too. it would have to be a great coincidence for it to be all tails, but thats why the word probability comes in meaning that there is more than one outcome
When tossing a fair coin the probability of getting three heads in a row is?
In a large enough number of tosses, it is a certainty (probability = 1). In only the first three tosses, it is (0.5)3 = 0.125
What is the probability of tossing a coin three times and getting it on heads each time?
Each toss has a 1/2 probability of getting heads. Each toss is an independent event. So three heads in a row (heads AND heads AND heads) would have a probability of:1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = (1/2)^3 = 1/(2^3) = 1/8 = 12.5%
What is the probability of rolling a penny on heads and roll a three?
1/2 for penny and 1/6 for dice
What's the probability of tossing a 6-sided die three times and getting an even number all three times?
Each time you toss the die the probability of rolling an even number is 3 out of 6 or 1/2. So, the probability of tossing three consecutive even numbers is (1/2)3 = 1/8 = 0.125, which is one chance in eight.
What is probability of at least 2 heads on tossing 3 coins?
There are 8 permutations of three coins. Of these, 3 of them have two heads, so the probability of tossing two heads on three coins is 3 in 8, or 0.375. However, you said, "at least", so that includes the case of three heads, so the probability of throwing at least two heads is 4 in 8, or 0.5. T T T T T H T H T T H H * H T T H T H * H H T * H H H *
What is the probability of rolling 3 on a dice and flipping a coin to heads?
a three on a dice is 1/6 and aheads on a coin is 50%
If rolling three dice what is the probability of rolling three ones?
The probability of of rolling three ones on three dice is (1 in 6)3, or 1 in 216, or about 0.004630.
