Question

Suppose you flip a coint and roll a 10-sided die. what is the probability of flipping tails and rolling a 7?

Answer 1

The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2.
The probability of rolling a 7 is 1/10

The two events are independent. Therefore the probability of flipping a tail and rolling a 7 is
(1/2)*(1/10) = 1/20

Answer: 1/20
