Step-by-step explanation:

In probabilities; when two or more conditions must be met, the "and" operator is used. The probability of grey and tails is 1/12

From the attached spinner, we have:

[tex]Grey = 1[/tex]

[tex]n =6[/tex] --- partitions

So, the probability of landing on grey is:

[tex]P(Grey) = \frac{Grey}{n}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]P(Grey) = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

In a coin, we have:

[tex]Tail = 1[/tex]

[tex]n =2[/tex] --- faces

So, the probability of tail is:

[tex]P(Tail) = \frac{Tail}{n}[/tex]

[tex]P(Tail) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The probability of grey and tail is:

[tex]Pr = P(Grey) \times P(Tail)[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Pr = \frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of getting grey and tail is 1/12
