Answer:

2 / 9

Explanation:

From the spinner :

Number of reds = 1

Total number of colors = 3

P(not red) = Probability of not spinning red, = 1 - p(red) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P(flipping tail) = a coin flip, P(tail) = 1/2

P(not even) = probability of not obtaining an even number) = 1 - p(obtaining an even number)

(1, 2, 3) ; not even = (1, 3)

P(not even) = 2 /3

Compound probability = 2/3 * 1/2 * 2/3 = 4 / 18 = 2 /9

You spin the spinner, flip a coin, then spin the spinner again. Find the probability-example-1
