Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

A coin has two sides

A number cube has 6 sides

Single event

The probability of choosing head = 1/2

The probability of getting 4 or 5 on the dice = 2/6 = 1/3

Joint Event

The probability of both event happening simultaneously = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
