    3/10.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability (A blue on the spinner) = 12/20 = 3/5.

    Probability (tails) = 1/2.

    The probability of a blue and tails = 3/5 * 1/2

    = 3/10.

    3/10

    Step-by-step explanation:

    These two events are independent, so the overall probability is the product of the individual probabilities.

    12 blue sections out of 20

    p (blue) = 12/20 = 3/5

    There is an equal probability of the coin landing on heads or tails.

    p (tails) = 1/2

    p (blue & tails) = 3/5 * 1/2 = 3/10
