1. **Problem Statement:**
A student has two spinners: Spinner X with 2 equal sections labeled "Red" and "Blue", and Spinner Y with 3 equal sections labeled "1", "2", and "3". The student spins each spinner once.
2. **Part A: Probability Spinner X lands on "Red"**
- Spinner X has 2 equal sections.
- Probability of landing on "Red" is \( \frac{1}{2} \).
3. **Part B: List all possible outcomes when both spinners are spun once**
- Spinner X outcomes: \{Red, Blue\}
- Spinner Y outcomes: \{1, 2, 3\}
- Possible combined outcomes (Spinner X, Spinner Y):
\[ \{(Red,1), (Red,2), (Red,3), (Blue,1), (Blue,2), (Blue,3)\} \]
4. **Part C: Probability Spinner X lands on "Red" AND Spinner Y lands on an odd number**
- Odd numbers on Spinner Y: 1 and 3 (2 out of 3 sections)
- Probability Spinner Y lands on odd number: \( \frac{2}{3} \)
- Probability both events happen (independent events):
\[ P = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.3333 \]
5. **Part D: Probability Spinner X lands on "Red" OR Spinner Y lands on an odd number**
- Use formula for union of two events:
\[ P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) \]
- Here:
\[ P(\text{Red}) = \frac{1}{2}, \quad P(\text{odd on Y}) = \frac{2}{3}, \quad P(\text{Red and odd}) = \frac{1}{3} \]
- Calculate:
\[ P = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333 \]
**Final answers:**
- A: \( \frac{1}{2} \)
- B: \( \{(Red,1), (Red,2), (Red,3), (Blue,1), (Blue,2), (Blue,3)\} \)
- C: \( \frac{1}{3} \)
- D: \( \frac{5}{6} \)
