The problem asks to make a tree diagram of rolling a die then tossing a coin.

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I made a chart like the following: I have two lines coming down to an Odd and Even with a 3/6 probability of each of those. These then each split into two more arrows with a Heads and Tails coming off. (the prob. of those is 1/2).

Then the question also asks the probability of getting heads AND rolling an odd number on the die. I'm really stuck! Please help!
 
I would think that the answer would be that you have a 25% chance?..

50% chance of rolling an odd number, and a 50% chance of getting heads.

The tree diagram just shows every possible outcome, so from that you can work out the probability of getting a specific outcome.

I think you've got the right idea already...
