Question

One letter tile is selected and the spinner is spun. What is the probability that both will be avowel?P (vowel) Tile:P (vowel) Spinner:Multiply fractions - probability that both will be a vowel

Answer 1

Step 1:

To find the probability of picking a vowel from G, B, E and A.

A and E are the vowels here,

`P\text{ (vowel) Tile : }(2)/(4)\text{ = }(1)/(2)`

Step 2:

To find the probability that the spinner showed a vowel from A, B and C.

A is the only vowel here,

`P\text{ (vowel) Spinner: }(1)/(3)`

Step 3:

To find the probability that both will be a vowel:

`\begin{gathered} P\text{ (vowel) Tile X P (vowel) spinner} \\ (1)/(2)\text{ x }(1)/(3) \\ \\ (1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

CONCLUSION:

The probability that both will be a vowel is 1/6
