Answer:
(5)/(12)

Explanation:

Given : A coin is tossed and a six-sided die numbered 1 through 6 is rolled.

Then the total number of possible outcomes :-

2*6=12

The favorable outcomes of tossing a tail and then rolling a number greater than 1 = {(T,2), (T,3), (T, 4), (T,5), (T,6)}

Then , the probability of tossing a tail and then rolling a number greater than 1 is given by :-

(5)/(12)
