Explanation

We are given the following information:

• The probability of a spinner landing on red is 0.15

,

• The probability of the spinner landing on blue is 0.45

Probability deals with the likelihood of an event occurring. In other words, the higher the probability value, the greater the likelihood of the event occurring.

The correct option is B.

Landing on blue is more likely than landing on red since the blue value is greater than the red value.
