Question

The table shows all the possible outcomes for spinning the pointer of the spinner with four equal sized sections labeled 1–4 and another spinner with four equal sized sections labeled A-D. What is the probability that the two pointers will land on an odd number and the letter c? Give the probability as a percent.​

Answer 1

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of spinners here and the outcome of them is independent. That means

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

There are two odd numbers out of four numbers in the first spinner. The chance of odd number will be:

P(odd) = 2/(2+2)= 1/2= 50%

There are four letters and the desired outcome is C. The chance for C will be:

P(C)= 1/4= 25%

Then the chance will be:

P(odd number,C) = P(odd number) * P(C)

P(odd number,C) =50% * 25% = 12.5%
