Joslyn Nelson · Answer 1

Coin - 1/2 Probability

Dice - 1/6 Probability

1/2 Multiplied by 1/6 = 1/12

Your probability that a tail and the number one will show is 1 out of 12

Aguirre · Answer 2

The sample space for this event is {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6}

There are 12 possibilities.

The probability that we get a T1 or T2 is 2/12 or 1/6.
