Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

Flipping a coin has two possible outcomes: heads, tails

Rolling a die has 6 possible outcomes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

All the outcomes of the two events are:

H1

H2

H3

H4

H5

H6

T1

T2

T3

T4

T5

T6

There are 12 possible outcomes after flipping a coin and rolling a die.

You are looking for 1 of those 12 outcomes.

p(heads & 2) = 1/12
