Answer:

(1)/(6)

Explanation:

Use the definition of probability:

$P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Number of all possible outcomes}}$

The table shows 12 possible outcoms (6 numbers for head and 6 numbers for tail), so

Number of all possible outcomes = 12

Getting a number less than 3 and a tail is possible when rolling 1 or 2 and flipping T (tail), so there are two favorable outcomes T! and T@.

Number of favorable outcomes = 2

P=(2)/(12)=(1)/(6)
