Final answer:

The probability of spinning a blue then yellow on a spinner depends on the number of outcomes for each color. For independent spins, it's the product of individual probabilities of landing on each color. For dependent events, the probability can change after each spin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the concept of probability in mathematics, which deals with the chance of an event occurring. To find the probability of spinning a specific color on a spinner, we have to look at the total number of outcomes in the context of spinning the spinner, as well as the outcomes that relate to our events of interest, such as landing on blue and then yellow.

For instance, if the question implies that we are dealing with a spinner with equal regions for each color, the probability of each event is determined by the specific number of regions for each color. If there is more than one region for each color, the probability would need to be adjusted accordingly. If the spinner is spun twice, and the results are independent (meaning the outcome of the first spin does not affect the second), the probability of landing on blue and then on yellow is the product of their individual probabilities (P(blue) × P(yellow)).

However, if the spinner's outcomes influence one another or there is replacement occurring, like in the scenarios described with the marbles in a bag, the probabilities can change based on previous outcomes, as outlined in conditional probability scenarios provided.
