Question Analysis
This question uses a spinner to test identification of non-mutually exclusive events (multiples of 3 and even numbers).
The focus is listing elements to find intersections.
Key Concept Explanation
Multiples of 3 (3, 6, 9, 12) and even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) overlap at 6 and 12.
The formula applies.
Step-by-Step Solution
Multiples of 3: 4 elements →
Even numbers: 6 elements →
Intersection (6, 12): 2 elements →
