Farah rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin. What is the probability of obtaining a 5 and a head? Give your answer in its simplest form.
Probability of a 5 is 1/6
Probability of a head is 1/2
Since each event is independent, we get the total probability by multiplying both together:
P(5,H) = 1/6 * 1/2
P(5,H) = 1/12
Probability of a 5 is 1/6
Probability of a head is 1/2
Since each event is independent, we get the total probability by multiplying both together:
P(5,H) = 1/6 * 1/2
P(5,H) = 1/12
