Question

You roll a 6-sided die with faces numbered 1 through 6, and toss a coin. What is the probability of rolling a 3 or getting heads? A. 7/12 B. 1/12 C. 1/2 D. 1/3

Answer 1

You roll a 6 sided die, and am trying to get a number 3. You have a 1/6 chance of getting the number

The probability of getting a heads tossing a coin is half, because there is only two sides.

Multiply the two fractions together:

1/6 x 1/2 = 1/12

B) 1/12 is your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

$|\Omega|=6\cdot2=12\\ |A|=1\\\\ P(A)=\dfrac{1}{12}\implies\text{B}$
