The two events described in this exercise are spinning two different spinners. Neither of these events affects the probability of the other so these are independent events. If two events are independent, then the probability of both occurring is the product of their individual probabilities.
P(AandB)=P(A)* P(B)
Here, A is spinning 2 on the first spinner and B is spinning white on the second spinner. Let's start by calculating the probability of spinning 2. We have 2 sections with 2 and 8 sections in total.
P(A)&=2/8 l←sections with2 ←all sections
Let's now find the probability of spinning white. We have 1 white section and 4 sections in total.
P(B)&=1/4 l← white sections ←all sections
Finally, we multiply P(A) and P(B).
