AI explanation

The total number of possible outcomes when rolling a dice and tossing a coin is 12. To get an even sum, the outcomes must be either an even dice roll with tails (2, 4, or 6 added to 2) or an odd dice roll with heads (1, 3, or 5 added to 1), resulting in 6 total favorable outcomes. Using the fundamental probability formula, the probability is 6 divided by 12, which simplifies to 1/2.
