I haven't done probability in a while and tomorrow I'm taking my state assessment/exam. If you could provide an explanation on how to solve this step by step, it would be much appreciated. Thank you! :)

Here is the question:

 

"If a 6 sided number cube is rolled and a coin is tossed at the same time, find the probability of getting an even, prime number and a head."

 

The answer choices are:

A) 0

B) 2/12

C) 1/12

D) 3/12

The probability of getting a 2 (an even prime number) in a toss of a die is: 1/6

The probability of getting a "head" in a toss of a coin is: 1/2

The probability of getting both of them at the same time is: 1/6 X 1/2 =1/12, or "C"
