Answer: =0.375
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually we have to find the probability that both events will happened.
1st event the coin will be turned by a head P(head).
2nd event the number is greater than 2 , i.e. can be 3,4,5,6,7 or 8 P(a>2)
Both events do not depend from each other. So the resulted probability
can be calculated multuplying probabilities P(head) and P(a>2) on each other. P(head, a>2)= P(head)*P(a>2)
P(head) =1/2=0.5 so the coin has 2 sides only one of them is head.
P(a>2)=6/8 so rolling the eight -sided doe 8 outcomes are possible and six of them 3,4,5,6,7 or 8 can give us the number that is bigger than 2.
P(a>2)=6/8=3/4=0.75
P(head, a>2)= P(head)*P(a>2)=0.5*0.75=0.375 ( rounding is not necessary, so we get exactle 3 digits after the point)
