Richard

Richard is conducting an experiment. Every time he flips a fair two-sided coin, he also rolls a six-sided die. What is the probability that the coin will land on tails and the die will land on an even number?

Correct answer:

p =  0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} p_1=\frac{1}{2}=0.5 \\ {p}_2=\frac{1+1+1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5 \\ p=p_1\cdot p_2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\cdot 1}{2\cdot 2}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \end{gathered}$$
