Answer:


(1)/(4)

Explanation:

The sample space of rolling a six-sided die and a coin is given below:


\left|\begin{array}c&1&2&3&4&5&6\\--&--&--&--&--&--&--\\H&H1&H2&H3&H4&H5&H6\\T&T1&T2&T3&T4&T5&T6\end{array}\right|

Total Number of Possible Outcomes = 12, i.e. n(S)=12

Let the event of getting a head followed by an even number = A

A={H2, H4, H6}

n(A)=3

Therefore:

Probability of getting a head followed by an even number


=(n(A))/(n(S))\\ =(3)/(12)\\\\=(1)/(4)
