Question

The spinner below has 6 equal sections numbered 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, and 4. Using the spinner below, what is the probability of spinning a 2 on your first spin, and either a 3 or a 1 on your second spin? answer choices: 1/6 1/9 1/18 3/15

Answer 1

Answer:

1/6

Explanation:

The total number of sections = 6

Number of sections labelled 2 =2

Therefore:

$P(sp\text{inning a 2)=}\frac{2}{6}$

Number of sections labelled a 3 or a 1 = 3

$P(sp\text{inning a 3 or a 1)=}\frac{3}{6}$

Therefore, the required probability is:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{2}{6}\times\frac{3}{6} \\ =\frac{6}{36} \\ =\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}$
