A coin is flipped and a spin ner is spun simultaneously the spinner Is divided into six equal sized sections labels with 1 2 3 4 5 6 what is the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5
To find the probability of both events happening simultaneously, you can multiply the individual probabilities of each event.
The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2, as there are 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails) and only 1 of them is a tail.
The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6, as there are 6 equally likely outcomes and only 1 of them is landing on 5.
Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is:
(1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12
So the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is 1/12.
