Ok so the P means probability and on the first one c is 1 of 3 of the total number of of letters in the spinner, and so is g

What that means is that they both have 1/3 probable chance of getting picked or 33.3% but it is most likely asking for a fraction so use 1/3

For 5 it’s more difficult

What you have to do is find the probability of heads and tails

Which is 1/2

D is 1/3

And the vowels are A and E which is 2/3

So you would multiply all the fractions and your answer would be ( work; 1/2 x 1/3 x2/3=) 1/18
