Question

Please help me answer this In a game of chance, Scott can win in two different ways. One way is by rolling either a 1 or a 3 with a standard die. The second way is to land on a 4, 5, or 7 on the spinner with eight equally likely sections numbered from one to eight. Scott thinks he has a better chance with the spinner because he has three numbers that will win instead of only two. Is he correct? What is the probability of winning with the die? What is the probability of winning with the spinner? Which should he choose? Thank you if you are answering this is very hard
