Jack tosses a coin and rolls a number cube labeled 1 through 6.
Question
What is the probability that the coin lands on heads and Jack rolls the number 5? Round the answer to the nearest thousandths. Enter the answer in the box.
The probability of the coin landing on heads is 1/2 (since it has two equally likely outcomes: heads or tails). The probability of rolling a 5 on a number cube is 1/6 (since there are six equally likely outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
To find the probability of both events occurring, we multiply their probabilities together:
Probability = (1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12
Rounded to the nearest thousandths, the probability is 0.083.
Answer: 0.083
