A coin is tossed and a die is thrown. The probability that the outcome will be head or a number greater than 4 or both, is

Step-by-step solution

The probability of getting head when a coin is thrown = 1 2 The probability of getting a number greater than 4 when a die is thrown = 2 6 = 1 3 Hence required probability = ( 1 2 ) ( 2 3 )+ ( 1 2 ) ( 1 3 )+ ( 1 2 ) ( 1 3 )= 4 6 = 2 3
