Question
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)

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of flipping a tail is 1/2, as there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails) and only one of them is a tail. The probability of landing on 5 on the spinner is 1/6, as there are six equally likely outcomes and only one of them is a 5.

To find the probability of both events happening simultaneously, we multiply the probabilities together: 1/2 x 1/6 = 1/12.

Therefore, the probability of flipping a tail and landing on 5 is 1/12.
