Question

A fair spinner has 9 equal sections: 4 red, 3 blue and 2

green.
It is spun twice.
What is the probability of getting blue both times?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction 3/9 represents the probability of landing on blue because there are 3 blue sections out of 9 total. That fraction reduces to 1/3.

Each spin is independent of one another, so the probability of getting blue twice in a row is (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
