Question

You toss a coin and spin a spinner. The spinner has four equal sections that are numbered from 1 to 4. Find the probability of getting tails and spinning a 4.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

When I toss a coin, then probability getting head or tail on tossing will be 50 : 50 or $\frac{1}{2}$

Similarly when we spin a spinner, total number of events n (s) = 4

and favorable event n(E) to get 4 is 1

Therefore, probability of getting 4 in one spin = $\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}$

= $\frac{1}{4}$

Now we have to calculate the probability of getting tails and spinning a 4 will be

p = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{1}{4}$

p = $\frac{1}{8}$

Answer 2

4*2=8, 4=number of sections on the spinner, 2=number of sides on a coin

Answer is 1/8 probability
