Question

A six sided die is rolled and a spinner with 5 equal spaces labeled A-E is spun. Find the P(rolling

a 1 and spinning A). Answer as simplified fraction.

Answer 1

1 / 30

Explanation:

For a six - sided die :

Sample space = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

P(rolling a 1) = required outcome / sample space = 1/6

Sample space for spinner = (A, B, C, D, E)

P(spinning A ) = required outcome / sample space = 1/5

P(spinning A) = 1 / 5

P(rolling a 1 and spinning A) = P(rolling a 1) * P(spinning A) = 1/6 * 1/5 = 1 / 30
