Question

A coin is flipped and a dice is thrown simultaneously. Which of the following represents the probability of tail on the coin and '3' on the dice?

• A. P(tail)$\times$P(3)
• B. P(tail)$+$P(3)
• C. P(tail $\times$ 3)

Answer 1

The correct option is A P(tail)$\times$P(3)

P(tail) = Probability of coming tail on the coin flipped.

P(3) = Probability of coming '3' on the dice rolled.

P(tail and 3) = Probability of getting tail on the coin and '3' on the dice.

P(tail and 3) = P(tail) $\times$ P(3)
