Finding the Sample Space of Two Spinners Worksheet Download
This worksheet shows two spinners and eight events written as (left spinner, right spinner) pairs, and asks students to select the four that are members of the sample space. Some events name exact numbers and others describe a property such as an odd number, so students judge both kinds against the same pair of dials. The left spinner is deliberately all odd or all even, which makes any event asking for the other parity on the left impossible no matter what the right spinner shows - a fact about the whole spinner rather than a single sector. Every wrong pair is built from numbers that appear somewhere on the page, so none can be ruled out without reading both spinners. This is a multiple-answer question with exactly four correct choices.

About this worksheet
Students judge eight events against two spinners and select the four that are in the sample space.
Student objectives
- Decide whether a given pair of results is possible on two spinners
- Judge an event described by a property, such as an odd number, as well as one naming exact values
- Recognize that a value missing from a spinner makes any event using it impossible
- Select every event that belongs to the sample space, not only one
Everyday practice
- Work out whether the dice total you need is even possible to roll
- Check whether a raffle number could come up given the tickets in the drum
- Decide whether two game spins could ever produce the score you want
- See which color-and-size combinations a shop could actually have in stock
