To determine which event has exactly 12 possible outcomes, we can analyze each option:

  1. Tossing a coin and randomly choosing one of 4 different cards:

    • Tossing a coin has 2 possible outcomes (Heads or Tails).
    • Choosing one of 4 cards has 4 possible outcomes.
    • Thus, the total number of outcomes is \(2 \times 4 = 8\).
  2. Tossing a coin 6 times:

    • Each coin toss has 2 outcomes.
    • For 6 tosses, the total number of outcomes is \(2^6 = 64\).
  3. Rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and tossing a coin:

    • Rolling the number cube has 6 possible outcomes (1 through 6).
    • Tossing a coin has 2 possible outcomes.
    • The total number of outcomes is \(6 \times 2 = 12\).
  4. Rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and then rolling the number cube again:

    • The first roll has 6 outcomes, and the second roll also has 6 outcomes.
    • The total number of outcomes is \(6 \times 6 = 36\).

Therefore, the event that has exactly 12 possible outcomes is rolling a number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 and tossing a coin.
