Answer:

The probability of not rolling a 4 on the die and flipping heads on the coin is 5/6.

Explanation:

Assuming the die is 6-sided, the probability of not rolling a 4 is 5/6, because all other possible values other than 4 can be rolled to make the probability true. 5/6

The probability of flipping heads on the coin is 1/2, considering there are 2 sides on the coin, heads, and tails.

To find the probability of both these events occurring, multiply both the probabilities together. (5/6) * (1/2) = 5/12.
