Answer:

Answer: 1/3

Explanation:

The probability of getting tails when tossing a coin is 1/2

The probability of rolling a number greater than 2 is 4 (3 4 5 6)

So 4/6 or 2/3 of the time is the probability of throwing the die and getting a number greater than 2.

The combined probability of getting both is 1/2 * 2/3 = 2/6 or 1/3
