1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
1/2= probability of landing an even number
1/2 = probability of landing a heads

What is the probability of tossing the dice and it landing on a 2 and then tossing it a second time and it landing of a number greater than 4?
First probability of getting 2 is one in six: 1/6probability of getting no greater than 4 is two chances in six (must be a 5 or 6): 2/6=1/3so probability = 1/6*1/3= 1/18.
What is the probability of tossing a coin and getting an even number?
Zero. Since coins land on Heads or Tails and not numbers.
Probability of tossing a 5 in a number cube?
The probability of an event is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. What is the total number of possible outcomes of tossing a number cube? 6 How many outcomes are favourable to the event of getting a five? 1 So the prob is 1/6 or 0.16667
What is the probability of tossing an odd number and a tail?
The probability of tossing an odd number (assumed on a die) is 3 in 6 or 1 in 2. The probability of tossing a tail (assumed on a coin) is 1 in 2. Since these are unrelated events, and the question said "and", simply multiply the probabilities to get 1 in 4.
What the probability of tossing a prime number cube labeled 1 to 6?
the probability is 4 out of 6
When a fair die is thrown what is the probability of getting the number 3?
A die normally has 6 sides numbered 1 through 6. The probability of you landing on ANY number is 1:6, or you have a 1 in 6 chance of landing a 3.
When tossing a fair coin the probability of getting three heads in a row is?
In a large enough number of tosses, it is a certainty (probability = 1). In only the first three tosses, it is (0.5)3 = 0.125
You are tossing a coin and throwing a die What is the probability of tossing head or tail and throwing a number greater than 4?
Firstly, the probability when tossing a coin and getting a head or tail is 1/2, then rolling a die, there are 6 sides so the chance of rolling any number is 1/6, there are 2 chances of rolling greater than 4 ie 5 and 6, so the probability of rolling a 5 or 6 in 1/3, as these are independent events you multiply the probability getting a heads of tails, (1/2) by the probability of rolling a five or six, (1/3) which gives you 1/6 or 0.1666 recurring.
What is the probability of tossing a numbre less than 3 on a number cube labeled 1 to 6?
The probability of tossing a 1 or 2 on a six sided die is 2 in 6, or 1 in 3.
When tossing 2 dice what is the probability of tossing a prime number?
There are 36 possibilities when rolling two six sided die. 15 of them result in a prime number (2,3,5,7,11) So the probability is 15 in 36 or a 5 in 12 chance.
How many outcomes are there for tossing an odd number on a number cube?
there are three distinct outcomes1,3or5. But there is no probability which will come.
What's the probability of tossing a 6-sided die three times and getting an even number all three times?
Each time you toss the die the probability of rolling an even number is 3 out of 6 or 1/2. So, the probability of tossing three consecutive even numbers is (1/2)3 = 1/8 = 0.125, which is one chance in eight.
What is the probability of tossing two 6-sided die three times and getting an even number all three times?
The probability of getting an even sum on two dice is 18 in 36 or 1 in 2 or 0.5. The probability of doing that three times in a row is 0.53 or 0.125.
What is the probability of getting four consecutive twos from tossing a fair number cube?
The probability of the first one is 1/6 .The probability of the second one is 1/6 .The probability of the third one is 1/6 .The probability of the fourth one is 1/6 .The probability of all four is (1/6)4 = 0.0007716 (rounded) = 0.077 %
What is the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads?
Theoretical probability is the number of ways something can occur divided by the total number of outcomes. So, the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.
What is the probability of getting a even number and a head when rolling a die and then tossing a coin?
A die has six sides, so the probability of rolling an even number is 1 in 2, or 50-50. A coin has two sides, so the probability of flipping the coin and getting heads is 1 in 2, or 50-50. The probability that both will happen together is the one in two OF one in two, or one in FOUR chance that both will happen. So, the probability is 25%.
What is the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on an odd number?
The answer depends on the shape of the spinner and the number on it.
What is the probability of spinning a number greater than 5 on a spinner numbered 1-8 and tossing on a coin?
3/8. And the coin tossing is totally irrelevant.
What is the probability of rolling an odd number and a head when rolling a die and then tossing a coin?
The probability of a head is 1/2. The probability of an odd number is 1/2. 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 or 0.25
What is the probability of landing on number 4 if you spun a spinner numbered 1 through 4?
The probability is one in four, or 25%.
What is the probability of rolling a number less than 5 and a head when rolling a die and then tossing a coin?
The probability of rolling a number less than 5; which is a 4, 3, 2, or 1 is 4/6 or 2/3. The probability of tossing a head is 1/2. So, the probability of a roll less than 5 and a head is 2/3*1/2 or 1/3 or 0.333. 4/12
Toss a coin-randomly select a number from 0 to 9 What is the probability of getting tails and selecting a 0?
The result of tossing the coin would not affect which number was selected. So we say that these two events are independent. We can therefore assess the probability of each of them separately and then multiply the two probabilities together for a final result. Probability of getting tails: 1/2 (since there is one way of getting heads out of two possibilities) Probability of getting zero: 1/10 (since there is one way of getting zero out of ten possibilities) Overall probability: 1/2 x 1/20 = 1/20
