Compound Events

Tap to Set

A compound event is two or more things happening. Set the coin and spinner to match the target!

Target: {{ s1.targetCoinStr }} AND {{ s1.targetColorStr }}
{{ s1.currentCoin === 0 ? 'H' : 'T' }}

Tap to Select

The grid shows the sample space (all outcomes) of rolling two 4-sided dice and adding them.

Find all outcomes where the sum is {{ s3.targetSum }}

Selected: {{ s3.selectedCount }} / {{ s3.targetCount }}

Adjust to Calculate

For independent events, multiply their probabilities:

What is the probability of flipping Heads on a coin AND spinning Red on a {{ s4.spinnerSections }}-color spinner?
P(Heads)
{{ s4.n1 }}
{{ s4.d1 }}
×
P(Red)
{{ s4.n2 }}
{{ s4.d2 }}
