Answer:

First problem: 1/4 chance

Second problem: 1/6 chance of happening

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability we need to multiply the chance of each separate thing happening by each other in each example.

In the first example we have a 1/2 chance that a tail was tossed and 3/6 chance that an even number was rolled.

[tex]\frac{1}{2} *\frac{3}{6} = \frac{3}{12} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

So in the first example we have 1/4 chance of happening or 0.25

Same thing with the second example:

[tex]\frac{1}{2} *\frac{2}{6} = \frac{2}{12} =\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
