Question

if you spend an eight-part spinner numbered from 1 to 8 and flip a coin what is the probability that you will get a number less than 3 and Tails

Answer 1

The probability of spinning a number less than 3 (1 or 2) is
`(2)/(8)`. This is equal to
`(1)/(4)`.

The probability of getting tails is
`(1)/(2)`.

The probability of spinning a number less than 3 and getting tails is
`(1)/(4) * (1)/(2) = (1)/(8)`.
