What is the probability of getting a head and a 6 when a coin is tossed and a die is rolled simultaneously?
1/12
The probability that the coin shows the head and the dice shows 6 is. Let A be the event of tossing a coin and B be the event of rolling a dice. = 1/12.
When a coin is tossed the probability of getting a head and tail is?
When a coin is tossed once, the probability of getting heads and tails is zero as the coin would land on either head or tail.
What is the probability of getting a head in a single toss of a coin by a single roll of a die?
50\%
The probability of heads on the first toss is 50\%, just as it is on all subsequent tosses of the coin. The two outcomes of the toss of a coin are heads or tails. For any individual toss of the coin, the outcome will be either heads or tails.
What is the probability of getting a 6 or a head from the dice and coin respectively?
If bother die and the coin are fair, then the odds are 1/2 for the heads and 1/6 for the 6, and we multiply these two together to get 1/12, which is 8.33\%. The probability of a coin showing heads is 1/2. The probability of a die showing a 6 is 1/6.
When two coins are tossed find the probability of getting exactly one head?
2/4
Therefore, the probability of getting exactly one head = 2/4 = 1/2.
What is the probability of getting a tail on a coin?
The coin has 2 possibilities, and the die has 6 possibilities. Thus, the total possibilities are 2*6 = 12. There is only 1 possibility to get a tail on a coin. There are 2 possibilities to get a die roll higher than 4. The probability is the number of options divided by the whole.
What is the probability of getting an even number on a die?
The coin is fair, the probabilities of getting a head and a tail are equal to 1 2. The probability of getting an even number on a die is 3 6 = 1 2 because among 6 results there are 3 even numbers.
What is the probability of rolling a die with 6 sides?
When you roll a standard die, assuming that no corners are chipped and each side is equally likely to be the result, then there is a one in six chance that any given number will result, as the standard die is in the shape of a cube, and thus has six sides.
What is the probability of two independent events getting a tail?
These two events are independent. If two events A and B are independent, this means that P ( A a n d B) = P ( A) P ( B). Let us label the event A to be getting a tail and the event B to roll a number greater than 4. Therefore, the probability of this event occurring is 1 6.
