Answer:

  • D) 0.2

-------------------------

Spinner 1

1 and 2 are less than 3 and it is out of possible 5.

The probability of less than 3 is:

  • 2/5 = 0.4

Spinner 2

It has two equal sides and the probability of any is:

  • 1/2 = 0.5

Total outcome of both events is:

  • 0.4*0.5 = 0.2

The matching choice is D.
