Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of outcomes

The spinner has 4 possible outcomes and the die has 6 possible outcomes. By the fundamental - counting principle, the total number of combined outcomes is (4\times6 = 24).

Step2: Calculate number of favorable outcomes

The favorable outcomes (same number on spinner and die) are: when the spinner shows 1 and die shows 1, spinner shows 2 and die shows 2, spinner shows 3 and die shows 3, spinner shows 4 and die shows 4. So there are 4 favorable outcomes.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability (P) of an event is given by the formula (P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}). So (P = \frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6}).

Answer:

(\frac{1}{6})
