Compound probability = probability of first event * probability of second event

Let the spinning of the spinner be event A(First event)

Recall,

Probability = number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes

The numbers lesser than 3 are 1 and 2. thus, favourable outcomes = 2

total outcomes = 5

P(A) = 2/5

For event B(second event)

The coin has only head and tail

P(B) = 1/2

Thus, the probability of spinning a number less than 3 and flipping tails is​

2/5 * 1/2

= 1/5
