Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired probability is the product of the probabilities of two independent events.  The probability of obtaining a 4 on the fair 6-sided die is 1/6 (one out of 6) and that of the spinner's coming to rest on Yellow is 2/4, or 1/2.

Calculate the probability of this joint event as follows:  (1/6)(1/2) = 1/12
