If you are using it in terms of an event (aka rolling a dice, flipping a coin, etc.) it means there is a 50% chance of it happening and not happening. It can be equal to 50% or 1/2 or anything equal to those!
they are all equally likely, just like flipping a coin.
a three on a dice is 1/6 and aheads on a coin is 50%
If they are fair, 1 in 6.
The coin can result in one of two possibilities. For each of those . . .The cube has 6 possibilities.Total possibilities for the coin and the cube = 2 x 6 = 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.
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.
An example of independent events is rolling a die and flipping a coin. The roll of the die has no affect on the flipping of the coin and the converse is true also. Another example is the rolling of a die followed by the rolling of a die - they are sequentially unrelated - so they are independent.

1st dice = 6 possibilities 2nd dice = 6 3rd dice = 6 Coin = 2 Total = 6x6x6x2 = 432 outcomes
