    Question

    A game consists of tossing three coins once and then

    rolling two dice. Find the probability of getting exactly one tail in the coin toss and a sum equal to 11 on the dice.
    A 1/48 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3/64 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2/81 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1/12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 1/36 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For tossing 3 coins: Total number of possible outcomes = 23 = 8 Number of favourable outcomes = 3 (HHT, HTH, THH) So, probability of getting exactly one tail while tossing three coins = (3/8) For rolling 2 dice: Total number of possible outcomes = 6 Ă— 6 = 36 Number of favourable outcomes = 2 [(5,6), (6,5)] So, Probability of getting a sum equal to 11 while rolling 2 dice = (2/36) = (1/18) Required probability = (3/8) Ă— (1/18) = 1/48
