Explanation:

Step1: Identify all unique outcomes

List distinct sections: $A, Y, 3, 5$

Step2: Count total spinner sections

Total sections = $8$

Step3: Count sections labeled A

Number of A sections = $3$

Step4: Calculate probability of A

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of A sections}}{\text{Total sections}} = \frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

a. $\{A, Y, 3, 5\}$
b. $\frac{3}{8}$
