Question

. What is P(3, then 3) when spinning the spinner shown at the right twice? A. 14 B.116 C. 156 D. 164

Answer 1

Question Correction

The spinner shown is divided into 8 equal sections labeled 0 to 7. What is P(3, then 3) when spinning the spinner shown at the right twice?

A. 1/4 B.1/16 C. 1/56 D. 1/64

Answer:

`(D)(1)/(64)`

Explanation:

Number of Sections on the Spinner =8

Probability of Spinning a 3,
`P(3)=(1)/(8)`

Therefore:

`P(3, $then 3)=(1)/(8) * (1)/(8)\\=\boxed{(1)/(64)}`

The correct option is D.

Remark: In option C, we have
`(1)/(8) * (1)/(7)=(1)/(56)` , however, the outcome of the first spin does not affect the outcome of the second spin, therefore this option is wrong.
