A coin is flipped and a spinner is spun simultaneously. The spinner is divided into six equal sized sections labeled with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. What is the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5?(1 point)
Since the coin and spinner events are independent, we can find the probability of each event separately and then multiply them together.
The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2 (since there are two equally likely outcomes - heads or tails).
The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6 (since there are six equally likely outcomes - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6).
Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is:
(1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12
So, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is 1/12.
