Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is typically given in the form of a fraction where the denominator is the total number of outcomes and the numerator is the number of desired outcomes.  Since both of these events, picking a marble and flipping a coin, are independent (one doesn't rely on the other), we can find each of their probabilities and multiply them:

[tex]\frac{yellow}{marbles}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{head}{heads/tails}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
