Answer:
(1)/(12)

Explanation:

The number of possible outcomes for a coin = 2

The number of possible outcomes for a number cube =6

When we flips a coin and rolls a standard number cube, the total number of possible outcomes will be :-


N=2*6=12

The favorable outcome for the coin will show heads and the cube will show a three (H,3)=1

Then , the required probability will be :-


\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=(1)/(12)

Hence, the the probability that the coin will show heads and the cube will show a three
=(1)/(12)
