We have 12 outcomes.
Less than 6 means 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Our probability P(x < 6) is:

A number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. The number cube and the coin are fair. What is the proA number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed. The number cube and the coin are fair. What is the probability that the number rolled is greater than 3 and the coin toss is heads? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form
Let's review the vitals of this question:
[LIST]
[*]The probability of heads on a fair coin is 1/2.
[*]On a fair die, greater than 3 means either 4, 5, or 6. Any die roll face is a 1/6 probability.
[*]So we have a combination of outcomes below:
[/LIST]
Outcomes
[LIST=1]
[*]Heads and 4
[*]Heads and 5
[*]Heads and 6
[/LIST]
For each of the outcomes, we assign a probability. Since the coin flip and die roll are independent, we multiply the probabilities:
[LIST=1]
[*]P(Heads and 4) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[*]P(Heads and 5) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[*]P(Heads and 6) = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12
[/LIST]
Since we want any of those events, we add all three probabilities
1/12 + 1/12 + 1/12 = 3/12
This fraction is not simplified. S[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=3%2F12&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']o we type this fraction into our search engine, and choose Simplify[/URL].
We get a probability of [B]1/4[/B].

a) Use a tree diagram to list the possible outcomes.

b) What is the probability of:
i) spinning A?
P(A) = Number of A sections on spinner / Total Sections
P(A) = [B]1/3[/B]
---------------------------------
ii) picking a grey marble?
P(A) = Number of grey marbles / Total Marbles
P(A) = [B]1/3[/B]
---------------------------------
iii) spinning A and picking a white marble?
Since they're independent events, we multiply to get:
P(A AND White) = P(A) * P(White)
P(A) was found in i) as 1/3
Find P(White):
P(White) = Number of white marbles / Total Marbles
P(White) = 1/3
[B][/B]
Therefore, we have:
P(A AND White) = 1/3 * 1/3
P(A AND White) = [B]1/9[/B]
---------------------------------
iv) spinning C and picking a pink marble?
Since they're independent events, we multiply to get:
P(C AND Pink) = P(C) * P(Pink)
Find P(C):
P(C) = Number of C sections on spinner / Total Sections
P(C) = 1/3
[B][/B]
Find P(Pink):
P(Pink) = Number of pink marbles / Total Marbles
P(Pink) = 0/3
[B][/B]
Therefore, we have:
P(C AND Pink) = 1/3 * 0
P(C AND Pink) = [B]0[/B]

A flip of a coin has 2 outcomes, heads or tails. Since each outcome is independent of the other outcomes, we multiply each flip by 2 outcomes:
Total outcomes = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
Total outcomes = 2^7
Total outcomes = [B]128[/B]
