A penny is tossed and a number cube is rolled. Find probability P(tails and 3). Please select one answer.

1/12

1/2

1/6

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the probability of the coin tossed being a tails.

The coin has two sides (heads and tails), so the probability of each case is 1/2, so the probabilty of having a tails is 1/2

For the number cube, we have six possibilities, so the probability of having a number 3 is 1/6

Now, to find the final probability P(tails and 3) we just need to multiply both probabilities:

P(tails and 3) = P(tails) * P(3) = (1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12
