Answer:

The probability  of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the  die is [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Total color in spinner = 4

Let the area of four parts is equal in the spinner.

We need to calculate the probability of spinning red

Using formula of probability

[tex]P(A) = \dfrac{Number\ of\ red\ color\ outcome}{Total\ number\ of\ colors\ in\ the\ spinner}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]P(A)=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

We need to calculate the probability of odd number of the die

Using formula of probability

[tex]P(B) = \dfrac{Number\ of\ odd\ digits\ outcome}{Total\ number\ of\ digits\ in\ the\ die}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]P(B)=\dfrac{3}{6}[/tex]

[tex]P(B)=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

We need to calculate the probability  of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the  die

Using formula of probability of two events which is independent

[tex]P(A\ and\ B)=P(A)\times P(B)[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]P(A\ and\ B)=\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ and\ B)=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

Hence, The probability  of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the  die is [tex]\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
