Question

The spinner shown is divided into congruent sections that are labeled 1-6. If the spinner is spun twice, what is the probability of the arrow landing on a 5 and then landing on a 3?

Answer 1

1/36

Explanation:

This is a simple use of the multiplication rule of probability, which is:

"The probability that Events A and B both occur is equal to the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that A has occurred"

Using this rule, we square 1/6 to get 1/36. In other forms:

Decimal:0.02777777777(Round to whatever decimal place you need)

Percentage: 2.778%(I don't see you needing any more places)

Hope my answer helped you!
