Marilyn is playing a game where she draws a slip of paper with the words "Rock, Paper, Scissors" written on each slip from a hat. She then flips a coin. She predicts "Paper" and calls Tails. She wins if she is correct. What is the probability she will win?

There are 3 possibilities in the game of rock, paper, scissors

So, probability of getting paper = 1/ 3

And, probability of getting rails = 1/ 2

Now, probability of winning both the times = 1/ 3 × 1/ 2

= 1/6
