Solution

To find the probability of both events A and B occurring, we need to multiply the individual probabilities of each event.

Event A: A three appears on the die twice. The probability of rolling a three on a fair six-sided die is 1/6. Since the die is rolled twice, the probability of rolling a three both times is (1/6) * (1/6) = 1/36.

Event B: A head appears on the coin twice. The probability of flipping a head on a fair coin is 1/2. Since the coin is flipped twice, the probability of flipping a head both times is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.

To find the probability of both events A and B occurring, we multiply the probabilities together: (1/36) * (1/4) = 1/144.

So, the value of P(A ∩ B) is 1/144.
