    A coin is tossed and a die is rolled. Find the probability pf getting a head and a number greater than 4.

    Since each event is independent, we multiply the probabilities of each event.
    P(H) = 0.5 or 1/2
    P(Dice > 4) = P(5) + P(6) = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

    P(H) AND P(Dice > 4) = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
