The probability of getting a number less than three on a fair die is 2/6 or 1/3 because there are two numbers less than three (1 and 2) out of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
The probability of getting a tail on a coin flip is 1/2 because there is one tail out of two possible outcomes (heads or tails).
To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities together:
1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6.
So the probability of getting a number less than three on a fair die and a tail on a coin flip is 1/6.
