a. a head and a 6

b. a tail and a red card

c. a head and a club

Answer provided by our tutors

a. Probability of a head = 1/2

Probability of a 6 = 4/52

 

Total probability = 1/2 * 4/52 = 1/26

 

b. Probabiltiy of a tail = 1/2

 

Probability of getting a red car = 26/52=1/2

 

Total probability = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

 

c. Probability of a club = 13/52 = 1/4

Total probability = 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
