The probability of getting tails on a coin is SMALLER than rolling a number greater than 2
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.
The probability is 5/6 (83.333%).
The probability of rolling a 6 on a fair six-sided die is ( \frac{1}{6} ). For the compound event of rolling a 6 and getting heads on a coin, the probability is ( \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{12} ). Since ( \frac{1}{6} ) is greater than ( \frac{1}{12} ), we would expect the probability of rolling a 6 to be greater than the probability of the compound event.
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.
50% or 3 out of 6.
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.
It is 0.25
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.
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).
the probability is 2/6
The probability is 5/6 (83.333%).
The probability of rolling a 6 on a fair six-sided die is ( \frac{1}{6} ). For the compound event of rolling a 6 and getting heads on a coin, the probability is ( \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{12} ). Since ( \frac{1}{6} ) is greater than ( \frac{1}{12} ), we would expect the probability of rolling a 6 to be greater than the probability of the compound event.
The probability of rolling a number greater than 6 on a die is 0.
