Final answer:

When flipping a coin and tossing a six-sided die, there are 12 possible outcomes because the two outcomes of the coin are multiplied by the six outcomes of the die.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the number of possible outcomes when you flip one fair coin and then toss one fair, six-sided die. We can determine this by multiplying the number of outcomes from the coin flip by the number of outcomes from the die toss. Since a coin has two outcomes (heads (H) or tails (T)) and a six-sided die has six outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), the total number of outcomes is calculated as:

c. 2(6) = 12

The list of these outcomes is as follows:

  • T1
  • T2
  • T3
  • T4
  • T5
  • T6
  • H1
  • H2
  • H3
  • H4
  • H5
  • H6

Therefore, the correct answer to the number of possible outcomes is 12, which corresponds to option B.
