D. 1/2

Answer 1

When you flip a coin there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails) and when you roll a die there are six outcomes(1 to 6). Now when coin is tossed and a die is rolled simultaneously, (2*6) 12 possible result =

{Head,1} , {Head,2} , {Head,3} , {Head,4} , {Head,5} , {Head,6} , {Tail,1} , {Tail,2} , {Tail,3} , {Tail,4} , {Tail,5} , {Tail,6} 12 outcomes
