Question

The spinner below has 6 equal sections numbered 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, and 4. Using the spinner below, what is the probability of spinning a 2 on your first spin, and either a 3 or a 1 on your second spin? answer choices: 1/6 1/9 1/18 3/15

Answer 1

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of sections = 6

Number of sections labelled 2 =2

Therefore:

`P(sp\text{inning a 2)=}(2)/(6)`

Number of sections labelled a 3 or a 1 = 3

`P(sp\text{inning a 3 or a 1)=}(3)/(6)`

Therefore, the required probability is:

`\begin{gathered} =(2)/(6)*(3)/(6) \\ =(6)/(36) \\ =(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`
