Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The spinner A has 4 possible values:
1, 2, 3, 4
The spinner B has 4 possible values:
2, 3, 4, 5
The possible pairs we can have are:
(1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5),
(2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5),
(3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5),
(4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5).
The sum of these pair of values are:
3, 4, 5, 6,
4, 5, 6, 7,
5, 6, 7, 8,
6, 7, 8, 9.
So we have 6 values that are 5 or less, in a total of 16 values, so the probability of the sum being 5 or less is P = 6/16 = 3/8
