Answer : 1. "1/3"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 1/3 Explanation: Here Sample space S = { HH, HT, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 } Let A be the event that the die shows a number greater than 4 and B be the event that the first throw of the coin results in a tail then, A = { T5, T6 } B = { T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 } Therefore, Required probability = PAB=PA∩BPB=2868=13
