The spinner below has 6 equal colored regions numbered 1-6. Find the probability of stopping on yellow for the first spin, stopping on an even number on the second spin, and stopping on blue or red on the third spin.

• A. $0.11$
• B. $0.17$
• C. $0.50$
• D. $0.89$

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the number of yellow regions on the spinner. From the image, there are 2 yellow regions (numbered 2 and 5).
2. Calculate the probability of stopping on yellow for the first spin. Since there are 6 equal regions, the probability is the number of yellow regions divided by the total number of regions: \( \frac{2}{6} \).
3. Identify the even numbers on the spinner. The even numbers are 2, 4, and 6.
4. Calculate the probability of stopping on an even number on the second spin. There are 3 even numbers, so the probability is \( \frac{3}{6} \).
5. Identify the blue and red regions on the spinner. There are 2 blue regions (numbered 3 and 6) and 2 red regions (numbered 1 and 4). Calculate the probability of stopping on blue or red on the third spin: \( \frac{4}{6} \).
