.
The probability of rolling a five and landing on heads is
.
Are the events independent or dependent?

Respuesta :

So for number there are 6 possible outcomes nad 5 is one of them so 1/6
He next one there are 2 outcomes and heads is 1 outcome so 1/2
For the next one you have to multiply them together so you get 1/12
And the events are independent because whatever you roll on the die won’t affect the coin(it actually does on a very small scale but I don’t think you go into that much detail for high school maths)
