To find the probability of both events happening, we need to multiply the individual probabilities of each event.

The probability of rolling an odd number on a fair six-sided die is 3/6 or 1/2 (since there are 3 odd numbers out of 6 total numbers).

The probability of flipping a coin and getting a head is also 1/2 (since there are 2 equally likely outcomes - head or tail).

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number and flipping a head is:
(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4

So, the probability that the die shows an odd number and the coin shows a head is 1/4.
