If you flip a coin and roll a 6-sided die, what is the probability that you will flip a heads and roll a 2?

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Flipping a heads and rolling a 111 are independent events: they don't affect each other. So, to get the probability of both happening, we just need to multiply the probability of one by the probability of the other.

The probability of flipping a heads is 1/2

The probability of rolling a 1 is 1/6, since there is 1 outcome which satisfies our condition (namely,1) and 6 total possible outcomes.

So, the probability of both these events happening is 1/2 · 1/6 = 1/12

So the answer is 1/12

I got it correct on khan

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.
