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
