What is the probability of landing on heads when tossing a coin and then rolling a 6 when rolling a number cube?
The probability of landing on heads when tossing a coin is 1/2 or 0.5. The probability of rolling a 6 when rolling a number cube is 1/6 or 0.1667.
To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities together.
0.5 x 0.1667 = 0.0833 or approximately 8.33%.
Therefore, the probability of landing on heads when tossing a coin and then rolling a 6 when rolling a number cube is 0.0833 or 8.33%.
or, more exactly
prob(your stated event) = (1/2)(1/6) = 1/12
