A six sided number cube is rolled and a coin is flipped. What is the probability that the number on the cube is less than 4 and the coin lands on heads.
I worked it out and I think I am right but I would like for someone to double check it for me.
1/2 * 1/2 is .25 which is 1/4
I would say it is 1/4
looks good to me
What is the probability of rolling a 6 spinning a blue and flipping a heads
To find the probability that the number on the cube is less than 4 and the coin lands on heads, you need to consider the outcomes of both the cube and the coin.
First, let's analyze the cube. There are six possible outcomes when rolling a six-sided number cube, which are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. However, we only need to focus on the numbers less than 4 (1, 2, and 3).
Next, let's consider the coin flip. There are two possible outcomes when flipping a coin: heads and tails.
To find the probability of both events occurring, you multiply the probability of the cube landing on a number less than 4 (which is 3 out of 6 possibilities, or 3/6) by the probability of the coin landing on heads (which is 1 out of 2 possibilities, or 1/2).
So the probability would be (3/6) * (1/2) = 3/12 = 1/4.
Your initial calculation and answer of 1/4 is correct.
