Answer:
1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a fair coin, the probability of getting tails on any one toss =
P(tails) = 1/2
if a coin is tossed twice and we get tails both times,
P( 2 tails on 2 consecutive tosses) = (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4
Total number of months = 12 months
Months that start with J = January, June, July = 3 months
P(selecting months that start with J) = 3/12 = 1/4
Hence the probability of tossing 2 consecutive tails then selecting a month that starts with J
= (1/4) x (1/4)
= 1/16
