Detailed explanation-2: -1 Expert Answer Since you are looking for either blue or green, the chances are the sum of the individual probabilities or 0.25+0.25=0.5. Another way to look at the problem is that any two colors take up 1/2 the wheel’s surface so the chances of the wheel landing on one of these colors is 50% or 0.5.
