We have an event where it is a spiner with 5 equal sides numbered from 1 to 5., since it is indicated that they are equal, we know that they all have the same conditions in everything that is, they have the same probabilities to come out.

i.e. the odds of each section coming out are about:


\begin{gathered} 1=(1)/(5)=0.2 \\ 2=(1)/(5)=0.2 \\ 3=(1)/(5)=0.2 \\ 4=(1)/(5)=0.2 \\ 5=(1)/(5)=0.2 \end{gathered}

Since we are asked for the probability of a 1 or a 4 the probabilities of both events are added together:

With respect to experimental probability and theoretical probability, these are two aspects of probability, differentiated by the method of calculating the probability of an event. In experimental probability, the success and failure of the event in question are measured in a selected sample and then the probability is calculated. In theoretical probability, a mathematical model is used to determine the behavioral responses to an event within the considered sample or population.

Assuming this is a one time event, this is a theoretical probability, since we are basing this on the mathematical model developed in probability theory.

In conclusion, the answer is a probability of 0.4 with a probability theory.
