Chapter 10, Problem 27CR

To determine

To find: $\text{ The probability P(tail and 1)}$ .

Answer to Problem 27CR

  $\text{Probability(head and 4)=}\frac{1}{12}=8\%$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $\text{A penny is tossed and a number cube is rolled}$ .

Calculation:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Probability of getting a tail when penny is tossed=}\frac{1}{2}\\ \text{Probability of getting 1 when a number cubeis rolled=}\frac{1}{6}\\ \text{Then probability(tail and 1)=}\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}\\ \text{In percentage=}\frac{1}{12}\times 100=8\%\end{array}$
