What is the probability that the arrow will stop on the same letter twice?

A. 1/9
B. 2/9
C. 1/3
D. 5/9

Answer 1

the answer would be 1/3 .hope it helped.i did the quiz and got it right

Answer 2

probability that the arrow will stop on the same letter twice =
`(1)/(3)` (c).

Explanation:

Given : Maria will spin the arrow on the spinner 2 times.

To find : What is the probability that the arrow will stop on the same letter twice.

Solution : We have given a spinner that spin twice and stop on the same letter.

Formula for probability =
`(number \ of \ favorable\ outcome)/(Total \\umber\ of \possible \outcome)`.

Here, total part of spinner = 3 and it spin two times

So, total possible outcome = 6. Arrow ston on same letter twice( favorable outcome) =2.

Plugging the values in formula :

Probability =
`(2)/(6)`.

Probability =
`(1)/(3)`.

Therefore, probability that the arrow will stop on the same letter twice =
`(1)/(3)` (c).
