GCSE Maths Practice: probability-basics

Question 2 of 11

Practice calculating the probability of two independent events occurring together: rolling a die and flipping a coin.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{A fair 6-sided die is rolled and a fair coin is flipped.} \\ \text{What is the probability of rolling a 6 and getting heads?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Multiply the probabilities of independent events to get the combined probability.

Independent events: the outcome of one does not affect the other. To find the probability of both occurring, multiply the probabilities of each event.
