and the die will land on a number?


.... do you mean even number or odd number?

steheil2 · Answer

both

paxpolaris · Answer

well the die will always land on a number, won't it?

And the coin has a 1 in 2 chance of being heads.

steheil2 · Answer

Im not sure it's either 
1/6
1/12
1/2
1/4

paxpolaris · Answer

Well the die will say either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

so you have a 100%  chance of getting a number : probability = 1

and you have 50% chance of getting heads : probability = 1/2

since these  are independent events ... just multiply the two to get your answer

$$1 \times \frac12=\frac12$$
