The probability is #1/4#

Explanation:

The coin is fair, the probabilities of getting a head and a tail are equal to #1/2#. The probability of getting an even number on a die is #3/6=1/2# because among 6 results there are 3 even numbers.
Finally to calculate the probability of event #AnnB# we have to multiply the calculated probabilities:

#P(AnnB)=1/2*1/2=1/4#
