A coin is flipped and a spinner is spun simultaneously. The spinner is divided into six equally sized sections labeled with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. What is the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5?(1 point) pls answer
The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2 or 0.5.
The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667.
To find the probability of both events happening simultaneously, you multiply the probabilities. Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is:
0.5 * 0.1667 = 0.08335
So, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is approximately 0.08335 or 8.335%.
