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, since there are two equally likely outcomes (head or tail). The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6, since there are six equally likely sections.
To find the probability of both events happening simultaneously, we multiply the individual probabilities:
1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12
So the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is 1/12.
