Algebra.Com's Answer #249255 by solver91311(24713) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The probability of anything is the number of ways that it can happen that you would consider a success divided by the number of ways it can happen total -- successes and failures.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There is 1 way to get a head when you toss a coin out of two ways that it can happen. There is 1 way to get a 4 when you roll a die out of 6 ways that it can happen. The probability of independent events is the product of the probabilities, so 1/2 times 1/6\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
