There are 10 possible outcomes when flipping a coin and spinning a spinner. Out of those 10 outcomes, only 1 outcome is favorable: tails/green.
So, the theoretical probability of landing on tails on the coin and landing on green on the spinner is 1/10.
In a board game, you must flip a coin and spin a spinner. You can only start the game if you land on tails on the coin and land on green on the spinner. Make a list of all 10 of the different possible outcomes when one coin is flipped and the spinner is spun
1. heads/ yellow
2. heads/orange
3. tails/red
4. heads/red
5. tails/yellow
6. tails/ red
7. heads/green
8. tails/ orange
9. heads/yellow
10. tails/blues
What fraction of the possible outcomes is favorable, or in other words, what is the theoretical probability of landing on tails on the coin and landing on a green?
