To find the probability of spinning a 1 and tossing a head using the spinner and coin, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes as well as the number of favorable outcomes.
Step 1: Count the possible outcomes
- Spinner outcomes: The spinner has 5 sections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
- Coin outcomes: The fair coin has 2 outcomes (Heads (H) or Tails (T)).
Thus, the total number of possible outcomes when spinning the spinner and tossing the coin is:
\[ \text{Total outcomes} = \text{Number of spinner outcomes} \times \text{Number of coin outcomes} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \]
Step 2: Count the favorable outcomes
The favorable outcome for this problem is spinning a 1 and tossing a head, which is represented as:
- \( 1, H \)
There is only 1 favorable outcome in this case.
Step 3: Calculate the probability
The probability \( P \) of an event is calculated using the formula:
\[ P(\text{event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}} \]
Substituting the values we have:
\[ P(\text{spinning a 1 and tossing a head}) = \frac{1}{10} \]
Final Answer
The probability of spinning a 1 and tossing a head is \(\frac{1}{10}\).
