A coin is flipp7 and a spinner is spun simultaneously. The spinner is divided into six equally sized sections labeled 1,2,3,4,5,6. What is the probability of flipping a tail and Landon 5?

1 answer

The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2. The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6. To find the probability of both events happening simultaneously, we multiply their probabilities:

1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12

Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is 1/12.
