    there are 12 possible outcomes.

    Heads - 1

    Heads - 2

    Heads - 3

    Heads - 4

    Heads - 5

    Heads - 6

    Tails - 1

    Tails - 2

    Tails - 3

    Tails - 4

    Tails - 5

    Tails - 6

    You want heads AND an even number, so that narrows it down to three.

    Heads - 2

    Heads - 4

    Heads - 6

    So thats 3/12 chance, which is simply a 25.00 percent chance.

    Much simper way to do so is that are 4 outcomes if you don't count the numbers.

    Heads - Even

    Heads - Odd

    Tails - Even

    Tails - Odd

    so you can also get 25.0% that way.

    "and" means summe

    P (coin) + P (cube) = 1/2+1/6=0,666667

    The chance to get head is always 1/2 no matter how often you toss the coin

    And the chance to get a number when you roll a number cube is always 1/6

    Did you mean that?
