Make a list to show all possible arrangements when rolling a six-sided die and flipping a coin. What is the fractional probability of rolling an even number and landing on tails?
1. 1, Tails
2. 1, Heads
3. 2, Tails
4. 2, Heads
5. 3, Tails
6. 3, Heads
7. 4, Tails
8. 4, Heads
9. 5, Tails
10. 5, Heads
11. 6, Tails
12. 6, Heads
There are 12 possible outcomes.
Rolling an even number (2, 4, or 6) and landing on tails (2 outcomes):
- 2, Tails
- 4, Tails
- 6, Tails
The probability of rolling an even number and landing on tails is 3/12 or 1/4.
