To find the fractional probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities of each event occurring.
For the die to land on 4, there is 1 favorable outcome out of 6 possible outcomes, so the probability of rolling a 4 is 1/6.
For the coin to land heads, there is 1 favorable outcome out of 2 possible outcomes, so the probability of flipping heads is 1/2.
Multiplying the two probabilities together, we get:
(1/6) * (1/2) = 1/12
Therefore, the fractional probability that the die lands on 4 and the coin is heads is 1/12.
A six-sided die is tossed and a coin is flipped. What is the fractional probability that the die lands on 4 and the coin is heads?
