Kim rolls a dice and flips a coin.

For coin: we have either H or T

For dice: we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6

On a coin, the probability of heads:
(1)/(2)

On a dice, the probability of getting 2 :
(1)/(6)

Hence, the probability of getting a 2 and a head is


(1)/(2)*(1)/(6) =
(1)/(12)

So, the probability that Kim gets a 2 and a head is
(1)/(12)
