Question

A spinner has six equal parts labeled from 1 to 6. The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability of getting 3 twice in a row?

1/4
1/36
1/216
1/3

Answer 1

it is 1/36 multiple 6×6=36

Answer 2

The correct option is B.

Explanation:

A spinner has six equal parts labeled from 1 to 6

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

We need to find the probability of getting 3 twice in a row.

`\text{Probability of getting a 3 in first row = }(1)/(6)`

`\text{Similarly, Probability of getting a 3 in second row = }(1)/(6)`

So, to find the probability of getting a 3 twice in a row, we multiply both the probabilities of getting 3 in first and second rows.

`\text{So, Probability of getting a 3 twice in a row = }(1)/(6)* (1)/(6)`

`\bf\textbf{Hence, Probability of getting a 3 twice in a row = }(1)/(36)`

Therefore, The correct option is B.
