Your question is very vague but if we assume "rolling a 5" is rolling a five on a six sided dice then the probability of that would be 1/6 since there are 6 sides and 5 is just 1 side.

Again your question is very vague but if we assume "getting tails" means getting heads or tails on a 2 sided coin then the probability of that would be 1/2 since there are 2 sides and tails is just 1 side.

You are tossing a coin and throwing a die What is the probability of tossing head or tail and throwing a number greater than 4?

Firstly, the probability when tossing a coin and getting a head or tail is 1/2, then rolling a die, there are 6 sides so the chance of rolling any number is 1/6, there are 2 chances of rolling greater than 4 ie 5 and 6, so the probability of rolling a 5 or 6 in 1/3, as these are independent events you multiply the probability getting a heads of tails, (1/2) by the probability of rolling a five or six, (1/3) which gives you 1/6 or 0.1666 recurring.
