    1/3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The probability of a student winning is 1/4.

    The probability of a prize being selected is 1/3.

    The probability of Gail winning a scarf is 1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12.

    The probability of Simon winning is 1/4.

    The probability of either is 1/12 + 1/4 = 1/3.
