There are 12 outcomes. The coin can land on either heads or tails, and then you can extract any number from 1 to 6 from the box. So, the outcomes are

  1. Heads, 1
  2. Heads, 2
  3. Heads, 3
  4. Heads, 4
  5. Heads, 5
  6. Heads, 6
  7. Tails, 1
  8. Tails, 2
  9. Tails, 3
  10. Tails, 4
  11. Tails, 5
  12. Tails, 6
