a coin was tossed and a spinner with three equal sections numbered 1 to 3 was spun. what is the experimental probability that the next toss and spin will result in 3 and Tails?

Multiply 1/3 * 1/2

To find the experimental probability of getting 3 and Tails in the next toss and spin, you need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

In this case, there are 2 independent events: the coin toss and the spinner spin.

First, let's examine the coin toss. There are two possible outcomes: Heads (H) and Tails (T). Since we are interested in getting Tails, there is only 1 favorable outcome.

Next, let's consider the spinner spin. There are three possible outcomes: 1, 2, and 3. We are interested in getting 3, so there is 1 favorable outcome.

Since the coin toss and spinner spin are independent events, the total number of possible outcomes is found by multiplying the number of outcomes for each event. Since there are 2 outcomes for the coin toss and 3 outcomes for the spinner spin, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 × 3 = 6.

Therefore, the experimental probability of getting 3 and Tails in the next toss and spin is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes, which is 1/6.
