Question

What is the probability of either event occurring when you spin a spinner with the numbers 1 through 4 which are all evenlyrepresented?Event A: Spinning an odd numberEvent B: Spinning a 4Express your answer as a simplified fraction.

Answer 1

Event A= 1/2

Event B= 1/4

Procedure

To get the probability of completely independent events you will need to divide the possibilities of getting a particular number over the total number of possibilities

Event A: 2/4 or 1/2 (The odd numbers are 1 and 3)

Event B: 1/4 (There is only one 4 in the range among 1 to 4)
