Answer:

1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to create a sample space to list the possible outcomes.

S = {1HH, 1HT, 1TH, 1TT, 2HH, 2HT, 2TH, 2TT, 3HH, 3HT, 3TH, 3TT, 4HH, 4HT, 4TH, 4TT, 5HH, 5HT, 5TH, 5TT, 6HH, 6HT, 6TH, 6TT}

  • No. of total outcomes = 4 x 6 = 24 outcomes
  • Only one outcome has getting a 2 on the die followed by two heads on the coin
  • P(2 on die, then two heads) = 1/24

Solution :-

1/24
