Question

(Sedan,truck,van, motorcycle)

What is the probability of spinning a white van? __________
d. What is the probability of spinning a blue sedan or green motorcycle? ________
Your answer should be one fraction.
e. What is the probability of spinning a purple truck? Explain.

Answer 1

A) white = 1/3
Van = 1/4
White van means “AND” which is multiplication
1/3 X 1/4 = 1/12

B) blue sedan same approach 1/12
Green motorcycle same thing 1/12
OR means ADD so 1/12 + 1/12 = 2/12 or 1/6 when simplified

C) purple is not an option so probability is zero
