Question

A fair number cube and a spinner are used in a game. The faces of the number

cube are labeled 1 through 6. The spinner has an equal chance of landing on 1 of 5
colors: red, green, blue, yellow or black. What is the probability of a player rolling an
even number and then spinning green?

Answer 1

1 /10

Explanation:

Fair cube ; numbered (1 - 6)

Spinner ; (red, green, blue, yellow or black)

Even numbers = (2, 4, 6)

Probability of obtaining an even number on rollin g a fair cube :

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

P(even number) = 3 /6 = 1/2

P(green color on spinner) = 1 /5

P(even number and green color) = 1/2 * 1/5 = 1/10
