 4. 

Suppose you toss a coin, and then roll a standard six-sided die.  What is the probability of not getting Tails or an odd number?

NOTE to Editor - In the manuscript for 12.3, Question 6 b) was replaced with P(anything except 3 and yellow).  If the intent is to use the concept of complementary events, using the answer found from Question 6 a) then I think that the wording should be change to say
P(anything except 3 OR yellow).
