Answer 1

Let's check the probability of each event:

Event 1: Spinner B lands on a red slice.

$\frac{\text{ No. of Red Slices}}{\text{ Total no. of Slices}}$$\text{ = }\frac{7}{13\text{ + 7}}\text{ = }\frac{7}{20}$$\text{ = 0.35}$

Event 2: Spinner B lands on an orange slice.

$\frac{\text{ Total number of Orange Slices}}{\text{ Total number of Slices}}$$\text{ = }\frac{13}{13\text{ + 7}}\text{ = }\frac{13}{20}$$\text{ = 0.65}$

Event 3: Spinner A lands on a white slice.

$\text{ }\frac{\text{ Number of white slices}}{\text{Total number of slices}}$$\text{ = }\frac{0}{8}$$\text{ = 0}$

Event 4: Spinner A lands on an orange slice.

$\text{ }\frac{\text{ Total number of orange Slices}}{\text{ Total number of SLices}}$$\text{ =}\frac{\text{ 4}}{8}$$\text{ = 0.50}$

Summary of the Events Probability:

Event 1: 0.35

Event 2: 0.65

Event 3 : 0

Event 4: 0.50

Therefore, the order from least likely to most likely will be:

Event 3, Event 1, Event 4 and Event 2
