Question

You spin the spinner and flip a coin. Find the probability of the compound event.

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability of spinning an even number and flipping heads is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You spin the spinner and flip a coin.

A spinner that has 1 of each number, 1-6

Total events =12

(1,H),(2,H),(3,H),(4,H),(5,H),(6,H)

(1,T),(2,T),(3,T),(4,T),(5,T),(6,T)

We are supposed to find  probability of spinning an even number and flipping heads

Favorable events : (2,H),(4,H)(6,H) = 3

Total events = 12

The probability of spinning an even number and flipping heads =$\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}$

Hence The probability of spinning an even number and flipping heads is 1/4
