Jim spins a spinner with colors red, blue, yellow, purple, green, and orange. Jim also flips a coin. What is the probability that Jim spins a primary color (red, blue, yellow) and flips a head?

So, I'm probably wrong but it would be a 3/6 chance of landing on a primary color because three of the six are primary and the three other are not primary colors, therefore it is a 3/6 chance.
