1. A coin is tossed and a single die is rolled. What is the theoretical probability that the coin shows tails and the die shows an even number?
1/4
1/2
3/6
1/3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance the coin will show 'tails' is 1/2, since there are only 2 sides to a coin. The chance that the die will show an even number is also 1/2, since half of the numbers on a die are even, and half are odd. But, since both of these events depend on each other, or in other words, are dependent, we have to multiply both numbers. 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4, therefore your answer is A.

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p

you just switch the numbers basically so it would be 3/17
