Question

Basha's favorite board game has a spinner with nine congruent sections. The spinner has 2 red sections, 3 blue sections, and 4 green sections. What is the probability of Basha spinning a red on her first spin and a blue on her second spin?

Answer 1

2/27

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Sample space

2 red sections,

3 blue sections, and

4 green sections

Sample size

2+3+4= 9

Required

The probability of Basha spinning a red on her first spin and a blue on her second spin

Step two:

On the first spin, spinning a red= 2/9

On the second spini, spinning a blue= 3/9= 1/3

Hence, The probability of Basha spinning a red on her first spin and a blue on her second spin= 2/9*1/3= 2/27
