Question

You spin a spinner that is equally divided into 5 parts. 1 part is pink, 2 parts are pink, and 2 parts are blue. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3 and then the spinner stopping at a blue section?

Answer 1

Answer: 2/15

Work Shown

A = probability of rolling a number less than 3

A = probability of rolling either 1 or 2

A = 2/6 = 1/3

B = probability of getting a blue section

B = 2/5

C = probability that events A and B happen together

C = A*B

C = (1/3)*(2/5)

C = (1*2)/(3*5)

C = 2/15
