Answer:
\frac1{12}

Explanation:

Outcomes for tossing a coin =2 [tail and head]

Outcomes of rolling a 6-sided die =6

Total outcomes for rolling both = 2 x 6 = 12

Favorable outcomes for getting a head and 2 on die = 1

Probability =
(favorable\ outcome)/(Total\ outcomes)

Now , the probability that you will flip a heads and roll a 2
=\frac1{12}

Hence, the required probability =
\frac1{12}
