What is the probability of landing on a 5 and then landing on a number greater than 3?



Write your answer as a percentage.

Answer 1

The probability of landing on a 5 and then landing on a number greater than 3 is 1/18 or 5.56%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of landing on a 5 and then landing on a number greater than 3, we need to consider the probability of each event separately and then multiply the probabilities together.

The probability of landing on a 5 is 1 out of 6, since there is only one 5 on the spinner. The probability of landing on a number greater than 3 is 2 out of 6, since there are two numbers (4 and 5) greater than 3 on the spinner.

To calculate the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the probabilities: (1/6) x (2/6) = 2/36 = 1/18.

To express this as a percentage, we divide 1 by 18 and multiply by 100: (1/18) x 100 = 5.56% (rounded to two decimal places).
