Question

a number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. what is the probability of the cube landing on 5 or 6 and the coin landing on heads

Answer 1

Answer:

◉The cube has 6 possible outcomes.  The probability of either of

two of them occurring is  2/6  =  1/3 .

◉The coin has 2 possible outcomes.  The probability of one of them is 1/2 .

     

 ⫸    (1/3) x (1/2)  =  1/6  =  (16 and 2/3) percent

Answer 2

The cube has 6 possible outcomes.  The probability of either of
two of them occurring is  2/6  =  1/3 .

The coin has 2 possible outcomes.  The probability of one of them is 1/2 .

The probability of both specified outcomes occurring is

             (1/3) x (1/2)  =  1/6  =  (16 and 2/3) percent
