For the chance experiment described in Scenario Card 1, why is the probability of the event “spinning an odd number and randomly selecting a blue card” not the same as the probability of the event “spinning an even number and randomly selecting a blue card”? Which event would have the greater probability of occurring, and why?

2.

Why is the probability of the event “spinning an odd number from Spinner 1 and randomly selecting a blue card” not equal to the probability of “spinning an odd number from Spinner 1 or randomly selecting a blue card”?
