When a coin is tossed and then a die is rolled the probability of getting a head on the coin and an even number on the die is?
The coin is fair, the probabilities of getting a head and a tail are equal to 12 . The probability of getting an even number on a die is 36=12 because among 6 results there are 3 even numbers.
What is the probability of getting tails on a coin flip and then rolling a 3 on a die?
The possibility of rolling a 3 on a fair die and getting tails on a coil is 112 .
What is the sample space of rolling a die and flipping a coin?
Rolling a die has 6. Thus, the sample space of the experiment from simultaneously flipping a coin and rolling a die consisted of: 2 × 6 = 12 possible outcomes.
When a die and coin are tossed together?
When a die alone is thrown, the outcomes are 1,2,3,4,5, and 6. So there are 6 outcomes. So when both the coin and the die are thrown simultaneously, each outcome of a coin gets associated with each outcome of the die. Hence there will be 2 x 6 = 12 pairs of outcomes.
What is the probability of getting a head on a coin?
Anyway, a coin has 2 sides, one of which is heads, so the probability of getting a head on the coin toss is also 1/2. 3. Since the two events are independent, we multiply. The answer is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4, or 25\%. A coin is tossed and a fair die is rolled. What is the probability of getting an even number on the die and a head on the coin?
What is the probability of tossing a coin 5 times?
If so, all other tosses are meaningless because each toss is independent. The probability of Heads for any toss of a fair coin is 1/2, so the final answer is 1/2, or 50\%. BUT often homework questions want to know : “What is the probability that when tossing a coin 5 times the first head is the third toss?”.
What is the probability of getting an odd number on a die?
Getting an odd number A on a die and a head H on a coin in a toss of these two together are independent events. Therefore P (AH) = P (A)P (H) = (3/6) (1/2) = 1/4 . Assuming a standard fair coin and die, The probability that the die shows an odd number is 1/2, as is the probability that the coin shows a head. The probability of getting both is 1/4.
What is the combined probability of a coin and dice?
You can calculate the combined probability by multiplying the individual probabilities. So, the coin has one chance in two of coming up as heads. So that would be fifty percent chance. The dice has a one in six chance of coming up with a 6 or about sixteen and two thirds percent
