Question

A spinner is divided into equal sections of red, white, blue, or purple.

if you spin the spinner 3 times, what is the probability you will spin red, then white, then blue?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

Each color on the wheel has a 25% (or 1/4) chance to be spun each spin. I’m order to find the probability of spinning the specified colors in order, you would need to multiply the odds of spinning each color.

For the first spin, there is a 25% chance to spin red, so we are currently at a 25% chance of completing our actions.

For the second spin, there is a 25% chance to spin white. The probability of these two together can be found by multiplying their probabilities, giving us 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.

For the last spin, there is a 25% chance to spin blue. The probability of this spin occurring after the other two spins can be found by multiplying the previous probability of the two spins together and the final spin, which would be 1/16 * 1/4 = 1/64. Giving us our final probability.

Hope this helps, if you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Answer 2

`(1)/(64)`

Step-by-step explanation:

`((1)/(4))^(3)`

4x4x4=64
