Question

Dan rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin. What is the probability of obtaining an even number and a head

Answer 1

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A die has 6 figures which are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. There are 3 even numbers which are 2, 4 and 6. A coin has 2 outcomes which are head or tail.

The probability of getting an even number is 3/6 = 1/2.

The probability of getting a head is 1/2.

Therefore, the probability of obtaining an even number and a head will be:

= 1/2 × 1/2

= 1/4
