What is the probability you get a 5 on a die or a tail on a coin?

the 5 on the die would be 1/6 if the die has the numbers 1-6 on it because each number has an equal chance of being landed on. for tails on a coin it would be 1/2 because both sides have an equal chance of being landed on.

What is the probability that you get a tail on the coin given you got the number 5 on the die?
It is 0.5 becasue the events are (or should be) independent.
What is the probability of spinning a number greater than 5 on a spinner numbered 1 to 8and tossing a tail on a a coin?
3/16
What is the probability of obtaining four tails in five flips of a coin?
Assume the coin is fair, so there are equal amount of probabilities for the choices.There are two possible choices for a flip of a fair coin - either a head or a tail. The probability of getting a head is ½. Similarly, the probability of getting a tail is ½.Use Binomial to work out this problem. You should get:(5 choose 4)(½)4(½).(5 choose 4) indicates the total number of ways to obtain 4 tails in 5 flips.(½)4 indicates the probability of obtaining 4 tails.(½) indicates the probability of obtaining the remaining number of head.Therefore, the probability is 5/32.
What is the probability if you roll a die and it lands on 5 and you flip a coin and it lands on heads?
One in six. One in two.
What is the probability of getting 3 heads from 4 coin tosses?
The probability is 1 out of 5

A coin is tossed and then a die is rolled Find the probability of getting a 5 on the die given that the coin landed tails up?
9/2
You are tossing a coin and throwing a die What is the probability of tossing head or tail and throwing a number greater than 4?
Firstly, the probability when tossing a coin and getting a head or tail is 1/2, then rolling a die, there are 6 sides so the chance of rolling any number is 1/6, there are 2 chances of rolling greater than 4 ie 5 and 6, so the probability of rolling a 5 or 6 in 1/3, as these are independent events you multiply the probability getting a heads of tails, (1/2) by the probability of rolling a five or six, (1/3) which gives you 1/6 or 0.1666 recurring.
What is the probability of spinning a number greater than 5 on a spinner numbered 1 to 8and tossing a tail on a a coin?
3/16
What is the probability that you get a 5 on the dice and a tail on a coin?
1/12 (1/6 chance of a 5 * 1/2 chance of getting tails)
What is the probability of obtaining exactly four tails in five flips?

You toss a fair coin 5 times and get 5 consecutive heads. What is the probability of tossing a head on the next toss?
If it is a fair coin, the probability is exactly 50%. The coin has no memory of what it did in the last flip. ■
What is the probability of getting 3 heads from 4 coin tosses?
The probability is 1 out of 5
What is the probability of tossing a coin 5 times and getting at least one tail and one head?
This is one of those cases where it is probably easier to think what is the probability of not doing it, then subtracting that from 1 to get the probability of doing it. To not get at least one head and one tail, you would have to get all heads or all tails. To get all heads, the probability is (1/2)5. To get all tails is the same probability; so double it to get the probability of either of those. 2(1/2)5=1/16. Subtract the 1/16 from 1 to get 15/16. Answer: 15/16
