A game includes rolling a number cube with numbers 1 –6 and then flipping a coin. What is the probability of rolling a 5 and getting tails? CLEAR CHECK Probability of rolling a 5 on number cube Probability of getting tails Probability of rolling a 5 and getting tails
Probability of rolling a 5 on number cube: 1/6 (there is 1 favorable outcome out of 6 possible outcomes)
Probability of getting tails on a coin flip: 1/2 (there is 1 favorable outcome out of 2 possible outcomes)
Probability of rolling a 5 and getting tails: (1/6) * (1/2) = 1/12
Therefore, the probability of rolling a 5 and getting tails is 1/12.
