Problem 14RE

Coin Toss and Card Drawn A coin is tossed and a card is drawn from a deck. Find the probability of getting

a. A head and a 6

b. A tail and a red card

c. A head and a club (4–3)

ANSWER:

Answer

Step 1 of 3

(a)

A coin is tossed and a card is drawn from a deck.

We are asked to find the probability of getting a head and a 6.

The probability of getting head is  since there are only two outcomes out of that you will land either head or tell.

The probability of getting 6 is,

[since there are 4 cards of 6 available in total 52 of cards in one deck]

Since both the events are independent, hence we can apply the independent rule of probability,


Hence the probability of getting a head and a 6 is
