The six sides of a number cube are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. You flip a coin and roll the number cube. What is the theoretical probability that the coin lands on tails and you roll a number less than 3?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The theoretical probability that the coin lands on tails and you roll a number less than 3 is 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a probability based question.

Firstly, in rolling a coin, there can only be two results. It’s either a head or a tail.

Thus, for a fair coin, the probability that the coin lands on tails is 1/2

Secondly, the probability that a number less than 3 is rolled will be;

count of numbers less than 3/count of all numbers

The numbers less than 3 are just 1 and 2 which makes them 2 in number

So the probability is 2/6 = 1/3

Thus, the theoretical probability that the coin lands on tails and a number less than 3 is rolled will be 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6

Cube has sixes faces all are equal in length to form the cube and coin has head part and tail part has a circular shape . Thus the Answer to the Question is 1/6

Explanation :

  • That the probability that the tail comes is 1/2 due to two faces.
  • That the number should be less than 3 come is 1 and 2 and the total faces in the cubes is 6 than its 2/6 is 1/3.
  • The probability that the is come multiplying both conditions 1/2*1/3 is 1/6

Thus we conclude that the above mentioned explanation is true
