Aspinner with 10 equal sections, na spinner with 10 equal sections, numbered 1 to 10, is spun. then a coin is flipped. what is the probability that the spinner will land on 3 and the coin will land on heads? 5% 10% 12% 20%umbered 1 to 10, is spun. then a coin is flipped. what is the probability that the spinner will land on 3 and the coin will land on heads? 5% 10% 12% 20%

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

A spinner and a coin flip are both independent events.  This means that the results of the event do not depend on the results of previous events.   Since the spinner has 10 equal sections that are all numbers differently, the probability of a certain outcome is the same each time.  In this case, the total number of outcomes is 10 and the chance that you would land on 3 is '1', so the overall probability is .

Flipping a coin is also independent because the probability of getting heads or tails is the same with every flip.  The chance of landing on heads is 1 out of 2 or .

Since you are combining these events, you take each probability and multiply them together:

Dividing 1/20 and multiplying by 100 gives you a percentage of 5%.
