The coin toss has two equally likely outcomes, so P{head} = 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The die has 6 equally likely outcomes, so P{6 tossed} = 1/6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Together, the probability of getting a head on the coin toss and a 6 on the die toss is the product of these two: P{6 tossed and head tossed } = (1/6)(1/2) = $\"+highlight%281%2F12%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "—\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This makes sense since there are 2*6 = 12 equally likely outcomes, and the problem simply asks for the probability of getting one specific outcome out of the 12.\r
