The probability of tossing an odd number (assumed on a die) is 3 in 6 or 1 in 2. The probability of tossing a tail (assumed on a coin) is 1 in 2. Since these are unrelated events, and the question said "and", simply multiply the probabilities to get 1 in 4.

If you have an equal amount of odd and even numbers in a determined sample space, the probability of choosing and odd number is 1/2 (.5).

What is the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number?

The probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number depends on the number of odd numbers on the spinner and the total number of numbers on the spinner. If there are 3 odd numbers on the spinner and a total of 6 numbers, then the probability of landing on an odd number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2 or 50%.


What is the probability of rolling an odd number three times?

The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 (or rather, 1/2), so the probability of rolling an odd number three times in a row is 1/2^3 is 1/8 or 12.5%.


If you roll two dice what is the probability of getting an odd number?

The probability of getting an odd number when you roll one die is 1 in 2. In order to get an odd sum with two dice, one of them has to be odd and one of them has to be even. The probability of rolling an odd sum is still 1 in 2, since each die is unrelated in probability to the other.


Rolling three dice what is the probability of rolling an odd number?

The probability that, when rolling three dice none will come up odd is broken down by the probability that on odd roll will occur as an independent event. Rolling the first die has a probability of 3/6 that it will be odd. Rolling the second has the probability of 3/6 that it will be odd. Rolling the third has a probability of 3/6 will be odd. Rolling three and coming up with odd is really the probability that no odd numbers occurred, so therefore an even number DID happen (3/6), and an even number DID happen (3/6), and an even number DID happen (3/6). That's really just 1 - (3/6^3) or simplified 1 - (1/2^3). So therefore the probability that an odd number occurred in 3 die rolls is about 87.5%.


What does it mean if the probability of an even number is 0?

If the probability of a event is zero, then the event cannot occur. Therefore, if the probability of an even number is zero, then the probability of an odd number is one.
