    1/4 or 25%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When a coin is tossed, there are 2 probabilities: 1 is that the result is heads and 2 is that the result is tails. The probability the the coin comes up tails is therefore 1/2. Next, when a die is rolled, there are 6 probabilities: the numbers 1 to 6 and the odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5. The probability of an odd number is therefore 3/6 or 1/2. To find an AND probability you have to multiply; 1/2*1/2, which is equal to 1/4 or 25%.

    50% it would be tails, and if it's a 6 sided dice it would also be a 50% chance to roll an odd number.
