Question

On a reality show, contestants had to spin two wheels of fate. Spinning the first wheel

determined the remote location where contestants would reside for the duration of the
season. Spinning the second wheel determined which "bonus survival tool" they would be
allowed to bring, along with a few other necessary items.

What is the probability that a randomly selected participant spun the second wheel and
landed on matches or a tent?
Simplify any fractions.

Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected participant spun the second wheel and landed on matches or a tent is 0.3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a randomly selected participant spun the second wheel and landed on matches or a tent can be found by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (spinning matches or a tent) by the total number of possible outcomes.

Let's assume there are 10 different bonus survival tools on the second wheel. If two of them are matches and one of them is a tent, then we have 2 + 1 = 3 favorable outcomes.

Since there are a total of 10 options on the second wheel, the probability of landing on matches or a tent is given by:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes = 3 / 10 = 0.3000
