P(1-4) = 4/6 = 2/3
P(tail) = 1/2
P(both) = (2/3) * (1/2) = 1/3

What’s being said here is the probability (P) of rolling a 1-4 out of a total of 6 sides is 4 out of 6, which can be written as P(1-4) = 4/6, simplified to 2/3. Meanwhile, the probability of flipping tails on a 2-sided coin is 1 out of 2 sides or P(tail) = 1/2. The probability of the first even AND the second event occurring is the PRODUCT of both events or: P(both) = 2/3 * 1/2 = 1/3.05/22/24
