    The probability is 1/26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, we have two different sample spaces to work with and we want to calculate a compound probability.

    Firstly in a deck of cards which contain a total of 52 cards, there are 4 cards labeled 9. Thus the probability of selecting a 9 is 4/52 = 1/13

    Secondly in a flip of coin the probability of the coin landing on head is 1/2

    Thus the probability of selecting a 9 and the coin landing on head = probability of selecting a nine * probability of the coins landing on head = 1/13 * 1/2 = 1/26
