Given:

We roll a number cube and flip a coin.

The sample space is


S=\mleft\lbrace(1,T),(2,T),(3,T),(4,T),(5,T),(6,T),(1,H),(2,H),(3,H),(4,H),(5,H),(6,TH)\mright\rbrace
n(S)=12

1)

Let A be the event getting the number less than 2 and heads.


A=\lbrack(1,H)\}
n(A)=1

The probability is


P(A)=(n(A))/(n(S))=(1)/(12)

2)

Let B be the event getting the number less than 2 and tails.


B=\lbrack(1,T)\}
n(B)=1

The probability is


P(B)=(n(B))/(n(S))=(1)/(12)

3)

Let C be the event getting the number greater than 2 and tails.


C=\mleft\lbrace(3,T),(4,T),(5,T),(6,T)\mright\rbrace
n(C)=4

The probability is


P(C)=(n(C))/(n(S))=(4)/(12)=(1)/(3)

4)

Let D be the event getting the number greater than 5 and heads.


D=\mleft\lbrace(6,H\mright)\}


n(D)=1

The probability is


P(D)=(n(D))/(n(S))=(1)/(12)

Hence we get

P(less than 2 and tails)=1/12

P(less than 2 and heads)=1/12

P(greater than 2 and tails)=1/3

P(greater than 5 and heads)=1/12

P(greater than 2 and tails) is not belonging to others.
