    There are 20 skirts in total and five of them are yellow.

    The probability that she will pick a yellow skirt is 5/20 (simplifies to 1/4)

    Multiply this by the probability that the coin will land on tails 1/2

    1/4 x 1/2 =

    1/8

    Maria has a 1/8 chance that she will pick a yellow skirt AND land the coin on tails.
