2. at a fair, each person can spin two wheels of chance. the first wheel has the numbers 1, 2, and 3. the second wheel has the letters a and b.

(a) list all the possible outcomes of the compound event.

(b) if you spin both wheels, what is the probability that you get either a 1 or an a? explain.

Possible outcomes
1a
1b
2a
2b
3a
3b

there are a total of 2 number one's
so there is a possibility of 2/6 chance to get the number 1

There are 3 a's in the set of data so there is a 3/6 chance to get an a
But we should exclude 1a because it is already counted in the first set when we counted the total number of 1's so there is a 2/6 chance of getting an A

add
2/6+2/6=4/6
There is a 4/6 or 2/3 chance of getting either an a or an 1

The answer is 8 apex
