Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

the chances that Eddie gets heads and blue on the spinner is $\frac{1}{6}$  such that the spinner has three equal parts that are yellow, blue, and green.

Probability

The possibility of the occurrence of an event is the concept of probability.

How to find the probability of the event?

Find the probability of the event that Eddie gets head.

The total number of outcomes in a coin that has a head and a tail is 2 and the chance in which Eddie will get the heads will be once.

So, the probability of the event that Eddie gets head will be $\dfrac{1}{2}$.

Find the probability of the event that Eddie gets blue.

Now, the total number of outcomes in the spinner will be 3 as the spinner has three equal parts and the chances of blue on the spinner will be once.

So, the probability of the event that Eddie gets blue on the spinner is $\dfrac{1}{3}$.

Find probability of the event that Eddie gets heads and blue

Then, the chances that Eddie get heads and blue on the spinner will be $\frac{1}{2} \times\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{6}$

So, the chance will be $\frac{1}{6}$.

Thus, option C. $\dfrac{1}{6}$ is the correct option.
