Question

2. What is the probability of spinning an A on the first spinner and an odd number

on the second spinner? *

Answer 1

1/10

Explanation:

All spinners have equal areas & circumference on each outcome, so spinning an A is one out of five, or 1/5. The probability of spinning any number is 1/6. Since 1, 3, and 5 are all odd numbers, the probability of spinning an odd number is 3/6, or 1/2.

The probability of spinning both spinners successfully (an A AND an odd number) can be found by the product rule, which is the product of the two probabilities, namely 1/5 * 1/2 = 1/10.
