A card is drawn at random from a standard pack of playing cards. Then a fair coin is flipped. What is the probability of selecting a 5 and the coin landing on tails?

The order doesn’t matter, as the two events are probabilistically independent of one another. There are 13 spades in a standard 52 card deck, so the probability of drawing  the number 5 is 13/52 or 1/4. The probability of heads is 1/2. The probability of both occurring is the product of the two probabilities, or 1/4*1/2 = 1/8 or 12.5%.

the probability of getting 5 from standard deck is 4/52 and probability to get tails from a flipped coin is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

as there are 4 parts in card i.e spade diamonds hearts and clubs which has 13 cards each from each 13 cards there are one 5 card so there are 4 cards with 5 number in standard deck

there is only one tails in a coin

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8
