Question

PLEASE HELP TIMED!!!!!

The spinners shown below are each spun one time.

What is the probability that both spinners will land on 2?

A) 1/12

B) 1/6

C) 1/4

D) 1/3​

Answer 1

The answer would be A) 1/12

Answer 2

Answer: Option A

`P=(1)/(12)`

Explanation:

Note that the first spinner has 3 equal sections. Then there are 3 possible results for the first spinner

So the probability of getting a 2 is:

`P_1 = (1)/(3)`

Note that the second spinner has 4 equal sections. Then there are 4 possible results for the second spinner

So the probability of getting a 2 is:

`P_2 = (1)/(4)`

Now, as they are independent events, then the probability of getting a 2 in both spinners is:

`P = P_1 * P_2`

Finally

`P=(1)/(3)*(1)/(4)\\\\P=(1)/(12)`
