A coin is tossed and a die is then thrown what is the probability of getting a head and a perfect square
For a coin.
There is a head and a tail.
To get a head,
P(H)=No of expected outcomes/No of possible outcomes.
P(H)=½
For a dice.
P(p)=No of expected outcomes/No of possible outcomes.
U={1,2,3,4,5,6}
Prime no={2,3,5}
P(p)=3/6
P(p)=1/2
To get a head and a prime no.
=P(H)×P(p)
=1/2×1/2
=1/4

Why is the prime numbers included
So incredible

Yes, the probability of getting a head and a perfect square is 1/4.
1/6
Thanks
Thanks
Apologies, I made an error in my previous response. The correct probability of getting a head and a perfect square is 1/6. Thank you for pointing that out.
Since there are six sides IA die and the die is thrown once then the answer is 1/6
You are correct. I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Since there are six sides on the die and each of the perfect squares (4 and 9) are two possible outcomes, the probability of getting a head and a perfect square is indeed 1/6. Thank you for pointing out the correct answer.
1/6
Thank you
