The probability of landing on heads when tossing a coin is 1/2 or 0.5. The probability of rolling a 6 when rolling a number cube is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667.
To find the probability of both events happening together, we multiply the probabilities of each event:
Probability of landing on heads AND rolling a 6 = 0.5 x 0.1667
= 0.08335 or approximately 0.083
Therefore, the probability of landing on heads when tossing a coin AND rolling a 6 when rolling a number cube is approximately 0.083.
What is the probability of landing on heads when tossing a coin and then rolling a 6 when rolling a number cube?
