4.
An experiment is setup to first roll a die, followed by spinning a spinner. As shown, the die is a six-sided die and the spinner has four equal divisions labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. Set A will contain all possibilities of the die rolling an even number and the spinner showing 4. Set B will contain all possibilities of the die and the spinner showing the same value. Find the probability of an outcome belonging to set A but not in set B.
