Question

What is the probability of flipping a fair coin and it landing on heads and rolling a 3 on a fair 6 sided die?

Answer 1

The probability of flipping a fair coin and it landing on heads is 1/2, and the probability of rolling a 3 on a fair 6 sided die is 1/6.

To find the probability of both events occurring, we simply multiply the probabilities together:

1/2 (for the coin landing on heads) * 1/6 (for rolling a 3 on the die) = 1/12

Therefore, the probability of flipping a fair coin and it landing on heads and rolling a 3 on a fair 6 sided die is 1/12.
