AP EAMCET2005MathematicsProbability
A coin and six faced die, both unbiassed, are thrown simultaneously. The probability of getting a head on the coin and an odd number on the die, is
Options
- A1 2
- B3 4
- C1 4
- D2 3
Correct answer
C. 1 4
Step-by-step solution
Let E= Event of getting a head from a coin. F= Event of getting an odd number (1,3,5) from a die. P(E)= 1 2 , P(F)= 3 6 = 1 2 Since E and F are independent events aligned P(E F) & =P(E) P(F) & = 1 2 1 2 = 1 4 aligned
