Answer 1

2/10

Explanation:

We can get 2/10 by multiplying the probability of the spinner and the coin because the question wants the compound probablity.

Since there is 2 numbers less than 3 on the spinner and a 50 50 chance of getting tails, 2/5 * 1/2 is 2/10.

Answer 2

1/6*1/2=1/12

Explanation:

You basically multiply the probability of getting 1 which is 1/6 out of the total and the probability for getting heads is 1/2 because there are 2 outcomes heads or tails.

So then you multiply them to get the probability of both of them so thats why it is 1/12
