    The spinner is divided into 4 equal sections number 1 to 4.

    So, for spinner, total sections = 4

    Favorable sections = 2 (i. e sections with even numbers)

    So, probability of getting even number on the spinner = 2/4 = 1/2

    Total number of outcome when a dice is rolled = 6

    Favorable outcomes = 3 (i. e outcomes with 2,4 and 6)

    So, probability of getting an even number = 3/6 = 1/2

    Since both events are independent, we can write:

    The probability of getting an even number in both events = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
