Let's solve each question step by step based on the spinner shown in the image.

Understanding the Spinner (Top Spinner)
The top spinner is divided into
6 equal sections, with the following numbers:
- 4, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4
So the numbers are:
1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4
Total number of sections =
6
---
Question 1: What is the probability of the spinner landing on a 3?
- There is
one section labeled
3.
- Total sections = 6
$$
P(3) = \frac{1}{6}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{6}} $
---
Question 2: What is the probability of the spinner landing on a 1?
- There are
two sections labeled
1.
- Total sections = 6
$$
P(1) = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{3}} $
---
Question 3: What is the probability of the spinner landing on a 2?
- There is
one section labeled
2.
- Total sections = 6
$$
P(2) = \frac{1}{6}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{6}} $

Question 4: Are you more likely to spin an odd number or an even number? Explain.
Let’s list the numbers and classify them:
- Numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4
- Odd numbers: 1, 1, 3 →
3 odd numbers
- Even numbers: 2, 4, 4 →
3 even numbers
So:
- Probability of odd = $ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} $
- Probability of even = $ \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2} $
They are
equally likely.
✔ Answer:
You are
equally likely to spin an odd number or an even number because there are 3 odd numbers and 3 even numbers, so each has a probability of $ \frac{1}{2} $.

Question 5: What is the probability of the spinner landing on red?
Now we look at the
bottom spinner — it's split into two equal parts:
red and
blue.
Assuming the spinner is divided
into two equal halves, then:
- Red occupies
half the circle.
- So, probability of landing on red = $ \frac{1}{2} $
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} $
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. $ \frac{1}{6} $
2. $ \frac{1}{3} $
3. $ \frac{1}{6} $
4. Equally likely; both odd and even numbers appear 3 times, so probability is $ \frac{1}{2} $ for each.
5. $ \frac{1}{2} $
