Question

What is the probability that both spinners will land on 2?

a. Startfraction 1 over 12 endfraction
b. Startfraction 1 over 6 endfraction
c. One-fourth
d. One-third

Answer 1

The probability that both spinners will land on 2 is 1/36, which is equivalent to option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we have two spinners. Each spinner has numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The probability of landing on a 2 on the first spinner is 1/6, and the probability of landing on a 2 on the second spinner is also 1/6. To find the probability that both spinners will land on 2, we multiply the probabilities together:

1. Probability of landing on 2 on the first spinner = 1/6
2. Probability of landing on 2 on the second spinner = 1/6
3. Probability of both spinners landing on 2 = (1/6) x (1/6) = 1/36

Therefore, the probability that both spinners will land on 2 is 1/36, which is equivalent to option a. Startfraction 1 over 12 endfraction.
