What are the possible outcomes when rolling a number cube labeled 1 to 6?

Back

The possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Front

What are the possible outcomes when flipping a coin?

Back

The possible outcomes are heads (H) and tails (T).

Front

If a number cube is rolled and a coin is flipped, how many total outcomes are there?

Back

There are 12 total outcomes: 6 outcomes from the number cube (1-6) multiplied by 2 outcomes from the coin (H, T).
