If a coin and a dice is tossed what is the probaility of getting a heads and six?

Heads comes up half the time, sis one time in six tosses so the combined odds of heads and six is 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12, one time in 12.


What is the probability of getting three or more heads when four coins are flipped?

Number of possible outcomes with 4 coins = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.Number of successes = 2. (Three heads or four heads)Probaility of success = 2/16 = 1/8 = 12.5 percent


Suppose X is the number spun on a spinner with the numbers 1 2 3 and 4 on it Suppose the probaility of a 1 is 0.2 of a 2 is 0.2 and of a 3 is 0.2 What is the probability that X is 4?

Probabilities always add up to 1. (There must be 'an' outcome). If the only possible options are 1, 2, 3 and 4 and if the first three are 0.2 each - that adds up to 0.6 - so the probability of X being 4 is 0.4. This might imply that the spinner has five sides and that two of them are marked with a 4.
