Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

The coin toss and the cube roll are entirely separate and independent events. To find the joint probability P(tails and 3) we need only find the probabilities of the two events and then multiply them together.

P(tails) = 0.5

P(3) = 1/6, or 0.3333 ....

Desired joint probability = (1/2)(1/3) = 1/6
