A coin is tossed and an eight-sided die numbered 1 through 8 is rolled. Find the probability of tossing a head and then rolling a number greater than 2. The probability of tossing a head and then rolling a number greater than 2 is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

   =0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually we have to find the probability that both events will happened.

1st event the coin will be turned by a head P(head).

2nd event the number is greater than 2 , i.e. can be 3,4,5,6,7 or 8 P(a>2)

Both events  do not depend from each other. So the resulted probability

can be calculated multuplying probabilities P(head) and P(a>2) on each other. P(head, a>2)= P(head)*P(a>2)

P(head) =1/2=0.5 so the coin has 2 sides only one of them is head.

P(a>2)=6/8 so rolling the eight -sided doe 8 outcomes are possible and six of them 3,4,5,6,7 or 8 can give us the number that is bigger than 2.

P(a>2)=6/8=3/4=0.75

P(head, a>2)= P(head)*P(a>2)=0.5*0.75=0.375 ( rounding is not necessary, so we get exactle 3 digits after the point)

marco saved more.   he saved $35 more.

step-by-step explanation:

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 55

2*10 = 20

55-20 = 35
