Given:

A spinner marked A, B, C is spun then a 6-sided die is rolled.

To find:

The probability of getting a B and then a 6.

Solution:

We know that,


\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

Total possible values for a spinner are 3. So, the probability of getting B, we get


P(B)=(1)/(3)

Total possible values for a die are 6. So, the probability of getting 6, we get


P(6)=(1)/(6)

Now, the probability of getting a B and then a 6 is


P(B,6)=(1)/(3)* (1)/(6)


P(B,6)=(1)/(18)

The required probability is
(1)/(18).

Therefore, the correct option is D.
