Question

Two fair spinners are spun and their results are added together. What is the probability of scoring a total of 4?

1) 1/36
2) 1/18
3) 1/12
4) 1/6

Answer 1

The probability of scoring a total of 4 when two fair spinners are spun is 1/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of scoring a total of 4 when two fair spinners are spun, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.

There are 36 possible outcomes when two spinners are spun (each spinner has 6 possible outcomes).

For scoring a total of 4, we have the following favorable outcomes: (1, 3), (2, 2), and (3, 1).

So, the probability of scoring a total of 4 is 3/36 or 1/12.
