A coin is flipped and a spinner is spun simultaneously. The spinner is divided into six equally sized sections labeled with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. What is the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5?(1 point)
The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2 or 0.5.
The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667.
To find the probability of both events happening simultaneously, you multiply the individual probabilities:
0.5 (for flipping a tail) x 0.1667 (for landing on 5) = 0.08335 or approximately 0.083.
Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is 0.083 or 8.3%.
