Question

The spinner will be spun two times.

What is the probability that both spins result in the same color?

Answer 1

11/3 have a good day

Answer 2

Answer: 11/32

Explanation:

The formula for finding this is:

(yellow and yellow) or (pink and pink) or (blue and blue)

First find the probability that both spins will be yellow:

2/8 * 2/8 = 1/16

There are 2 yellow spots out of the 8 total spots.

Because you need to spin yellow and yellow, you multiply the two fractions.

This logic applies to pink and blue.

Next pink:

3/8 * 3/8 = 9/64

Blue:

3/8 * 3/8 = 9/64

Find the probability that you will spin yellow or pink or blue:

1/16 + 9/64 + 9/64 = 11/32

Whenever finding the probability of something or something else, add them.
