Answer:
2/9 = approximately 0.22.
Explanation:
There are a total of 12 possible outcomes when the spinner is spun once, so the probability of getting a result that is not green is 8/12, or 2/3. Similarly, the probability of getting green on the second spin is 4/12, or 1/3.
To find the probability of getting a result that is not green on the first spin and green on the second spin, you can multiply the probabilities of each individual event. Therefore, the probability of getting not green then green is (2/3) * (1/3) = 2/9 = approximately 0.22.
Alternatively, you could also use the principle of complementary probabilities to calculate the probability of getting not green on the first spin and green on the second spin. The probability of getting not green on the first spin is 1 - (4/12) = 8/12 = 2/3, and the probability of getting green on the second spin is still 4/12 = 1/3. Multiplying these probabilities gives a result of (2/3) * (1/3) = 2/9 = approximately 0.22.
