Question

You toss a coin and randomly select a number from 0 to 9 what is the probability of getting tails and selecting 3? 0.25 0.95 0 0.05

Answer 1

These are independent events, so multiply the two probabilities together:

P(get tail) = 0.5

P(get 3) = 1/10, or 0.1

P(get tail and select 3) = 0.5(0.1) = 0.05 (answer)

Answer 2

The correct answer is .05

To solve, find the decimal of each of the probabilities: 

Flipping Tails:  1/2 ----> .5

Picking 3:   1/10-----> .10

Now, multiply them together: 

.5 x .10 = .05

Hope this helps!
