A coin is tossed and a die is thrown. Find the probability that the outcome will be a head or a number greater than 4, or both.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Probability of head`=frac{1}{2}`

Probability that the number will be greater than `4 = frac{2}{6}=frac{1}{3}`

Probability that outcome is head and number greater than `4 = frac{1} {2}\times\frac{1}{3} = frac{1}{6}`
