Tossing a coin and spinning a spinner are independent events. The outcome of the coin toss does not affect the outcome of the spinner, and vice versa. Each event occurs separately, and the result of one does not influence the other.
3/8. And the coin tossing is totally irrelevant.

To find the probability of spinning a number greater than 5 on a spinner numbered 1 to 8, we note that the numbers greater than 5 are 6, 7, and 8, giving us 3 favorable outcomes out of 8 total outcomes. Thus, the probability of this event is 3/8. For the coin toss, the probability of getting a tail is 1/2. The combined probability of both events occurring is (3/8) × (1/2) = 3/16.
The probability of tossing a coin and getting heads is 0.5
