Assume spinning of both spinners are random and independent of each other.
Red spinner is labeled 1 to 6, consequently the event of spinning less than three is 1 or 2 (two outcomes) out of 6 possible outcomes for a probability of 2/6=1/3.
Blue spinner has 4 sectors (4 possible outcomes). The event of spinning B or D means 2 outcomes out of the 4 possible, with a probability of 2/4=1/2.
Since the spinners are independent, the joint probability of getting both events happening is the product of the two individual probabilities.
The red spinner has six equal sectors labeled with numbers 1 through 6. The blue spinner has four equal sectors labeled with letters A, B, C, and D. Find the probability of spinning the two spinners and getting a number less than three with a B or D.
