The probability of rolling an even number on a dice is 1/2, since there are three even numbers (2, 4, and 6) out of a total of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

The probability of landing on tails when flipping a coin is also 1/2, since there are only two possible outcomes (heads or tails) and they are equally likely.

To find the probability of both events happening together, we need to multiply their probabilities:

1/2 (probability of rolling an even number) x 1/2 (probability of landing on tails) = 1/4

Therefore, the probability of rolling an even number on a dice and landing on tails when flipping a coin is 1/4 or 0.25 (25%).
