The calculated probability of obtaining two in each spin is 1/25

What is the probability of obtaining two in each spin

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Spinner = 5 sections

Where, we have

sections = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

using the above as a guide, we have the probability of 2 in each spin is

P(2) = 1/5

So, we have

P(2 twice) = 1/5 * 1/5

Evaluate

P(2 twice) = 1/25

Hence, the probability of obtaining two in each spin is 1/25
