Spinner diagram isn't attached. A related spinner diagram has been attached below to provide an hypothetical solution to the problem

Answer:

4 / 15

Explanation:

For the numbered spinner :

P(landing on 2) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3) = 3

Required outcome = (1) = 1

P(landing on 2) = 1 /3

Lettered spinner :

P(does not land on b)

Total possible outcomes = (A, B, C, D, E)

Required outcome = (a, c, d, e)

P(does not land on b) = 4 / 5

Hence,

P(lands on 2, does not land on b) in this scenario is :

1/3 * 4/5 = 4 / 15
