Question

A spinner divided into six equal parts. It has three green parts, two purple parts, and one white part. What is the probability of spinning green twice in 2 spins

Answer 1

1/4

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of green = 3

Number of purple = 2

Number of white = 1

Probability of spinning green twice in 2 spins :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(green on first spin) = 3 / 6 = 1/2

P(green on second spin) = 3/6 = 1/2

Hence, Probability of spinning green twice in 2 spins will be :

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
