Explanation

Outcomes for two dice = 6 * 6 = 36. Outcomes for a coin = 2. Total outcomes = 36 * 2 = 72.

AI explanation

According to the fundamental principle of counting, the total number of outcomes is the product of the individual outcomes for each independent event. Rolling two dice provides 6 multiplied by 6, equaling 36 outcomes, and tossing a coin provides 2 outcomes. Multiplying these together, 36 multiplied by 2 gives a total of 72 outcomes.
