Answer: $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement : Marcus tosses a coin and spins a spinner numbered from 1 to 3.

Let A be the event of getting a head while tossing a coin.

Total faces on coin=2

Then $P(A)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Let B be the event of spinner lands on 1.

Total sections on spinner = 3

Then $P(B)=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Since both events are independent of each other.

Therefore, the probability the coin lands heads up and the spinner lands on 1 = $P(A)\timesP(B)=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1}{6}$

Hence, the probability the coin lands heads up and the spinner lands on 1 = $\dfrac{1}{6}$
