Spinner has three colors: red, green and yellow; coin has two sides: head or tail.

The sample space: {red - head; red - tail; green - head; green - tail; yellow - head; yellow - tail}. In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.

The probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.
