Question

You roll a 6-sided die with faces numbered 1 through 6, and toss a coin. What is the probability of rolling a 2 or getting heads? A.1/6 B. 5/12 C. 2/3 D. 1/12

Answer 1

That sounds like an extremely misleading question to me but it would be A since theres a 1/6 chance of getting a 2 on a die and there isnt a 1/2 in the answers so it is A

Answer 2

The situation is simultaneously rolling a dice and tossing a coin. In  this case, the probability of getting any number is equally 1/6 while that of getting either head or tail is 1/2. Hence the probability of getting a 2 or getting a heads is (1/6 * (1/2) or equal to 1/12. Answer is B
