Thanks! What about the below questions?
 
1. A coin is tossed three times. What is the probability of getting heads just once?
 
2. A month is chosen at random, then a standard die is rolled. What is the probability of getting February, then a number less than 5?

1.  just one H can occur three different ways, out of the 8 possible H/T choices.    3/8
 
2.  these are independent possible outcomes, so multiply 1/12 times 4/6 & reduce it.
 
In general, just take a step-by-step analytical approach.
