In a particular game, a spinner with four equally-sized sectors labeled 1, 4, 6, and 8 is spun twice. One turn is considered 2 spins of the spinner.

If the sum of the spins is even, you move forward 6 spaces. Otherwise, you move back 2 spaces.

What is the mathematical expectation for the number of spaces moved in one turn?

3 spaces forward

1 space backward

3 spaces backward

1 space forward
