Answer 1

`(1)/(6)`

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:

`(yellow)/(marbles)=(1)/(3)`

`(head)/(heads/tails)=(1)/(2)`
