The probability of getting tails on the coin and an even number on the number cube is 1/4

Probabilities are used to determine the chances, likelihood, possibilities of an event or collection of events

The sample space of a coin is:

S = {H, T}

The sample space of a die is:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

The above means that:

A coin has 2 faces, one of which is the tail.

So, we have:

P(Tail) = 1/2

A number cube has 6 numbers, 3 or which are even.

So, we have

P(Even) = 3/6

The required probability is

P = P(Tail) * P(Even)

This gives

P = 1/2 * 3/6

Evaluate

P = 1/4

Evaluate the quotient

P = 0.25

Hence, the probability of getting tails on the coin and an even number on the number cube is 1/4 or 0.25
