Explanation of Solution
Given:
You spin a spinner that has 12 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 12.
Formula Used:
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) , if A and B are mutually exhaustive events, that is if both don’t have anything in common.
Calculation:
Total number of sections = 12
Number of favorable outcomes that are even numbers = 6 ={2,4,6,8,10,12}
Number of favorable outcomes that are odd numbers = 6 = {1,3,5,7,9,11}
Since getting an even number and getting an odd number are mutually exhaustive events, so,
