A coin is tossed and a number cube is rolled. What is the probability that the coin show heads and the number cube shows 5
1 answer
This is called independent statistics. It explains how likely 2 unique and unrelated variables interact. The basic equation is (1st odds)*(2nd odds). A cube has 6 faces, and a coin has two sides. Therefore the cube rolling ANY number, such as 5 is 1/6 and the coin showing EITHER side, such as tails, is 1/2. 1/6*1/2=1/12.
