To calculate the probability of getting a head on a coin and a perfect square on a dice, you need to consider the total number of possible outcomes.
For a coin toss, there are 2 possible outcomes - heads or tails.
For a dice roll, there are 6 possible outcomes - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
The perfect squares on a dice are 1 and 4.
To find the probability of getting a head and a perfect square, you need to multiply the probabilities of getting a head and a perfect square:
Probability of getting a head = 1/2
Probability of getting a perfect square = 2/6 (1 and 4 are perfect squares out of a total of 6 faces on the dice)
Probability of getting a head and a perfect square = (1/2) * (2/6) = 1/6
Therefore, the probability of getting a head and a perfect square is 1/6.
