sally spins a fair spinner numbered 1-6 and flips a fair coin. what is the probability of obtaining a multiple of 2 and a tail
probability of landing on the tail is 1 / 2
probability of landing on a 2, 4, or 6 is 1 / 2 (it's 3 / 6 but that's the same as 1 / 2)
probability of both happening (1 / 2)(1 / 2) = 1 / 4
