Probability for spinning a 5 = 1/10

Probability of spinning an even number = 5/10 = 1/2

Probability of spinning an even number = 1/2

Combined probability = 1/10 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/40 = 0.025

In short, Your Answer would be: 0.025

Hope this helps!

The probability of spinning a 5 is 1/10.
(The probability of spinning an even is 1/2)*2
1/10=.1
1/2=.5
.5*.5*.1=.025

Therefore, the probability is .025.
