Question

One coin is flipped and then one die is rolled. What is the probability of getting a head on the coin and an odd number on the die? {?} Give your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

Sample Space for coin=H,T
n(S)=2
n(head)=1
P(of getting a head)=1/2

Sample Space for die=1,2,3,4,5,6
n(S)=6
n(odd numbers)=3
P(of getting an odd number)=3/6=1/2

P(of getting a head on the coin and an odd number on the die)=1/2 + 1/2 =1
Probability expressed as a percentage=1*100%=100
