Answer: The probability would be the same

Explanation:

The probability of flipping a coin and it landing heads-up would be 1/2, since there are 2 possible outcomes and you only want 1 to occur, while the probability of rolling an even number on a standard die would be 3/6, since there are 6 outcomes and 3 favorable ones, reducing to 1/2.
