Question

Jim spins a spinner with colors red, blue, yellow, purple, green, and orange. Jim also flips a coin. What is the probability that Jim spins a primary color (red, blue, yellow) and flips a head? A) 1 2 B) 1 3 C) 1 4 D) 1 6

Answer 1

C)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Probability=number of specific outcomes/total possible outcomes

And the probability of two events happening at the same time is P(1)*P(2), or the product of the probabilities of each event...

In this case:

P(primary color)=3/6=1/2

P(head)=1/2

P(primary and head)=(1/2)(1/2)=1/4
