We are given an experiment and want to represent the sample space by making a table. The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes. In this case, the sample space is the result of two stages.
Spinner A — Landing on red section or blue section or green section
Spinner B — Landing on section 1 or section 2 or section 3
To make the table, we will list the outcomes of the first spin in the left column and the outcomes of the second spin in the top row.
Outcomes

Red
Red, 1
Red, 2
Red, 3
Blue
Blue, 1
Blue, 2
Blue, 3
Green
Green, 1
Green, 2
Green, 3
Keep in mind that there are several ways to make a table. The part that matters most is that the sample space ends up with all of the possible combinations.
