Question

When the arrow is spun, there are four possible numbers the arrow can land on: 1, 2, 3, and 4. The spinners are each spun once. What is the probabilty of an even number on the first spinner and a 3 on the second spinner?

Answer 1

The probability is 1/8

Explanation:

There are two spinners here, total result on each of the two is 4

Probability of even number of the first

The even numbers are 2 and 4

Probability of an even number is 2/4 = 1/2

For the second spinner

Probability of having a 3 on the second spinner is 1/4

So the probability of an even number on the first and a 3 on the second spinner will be;

1/2 * 1/4 = 1/8
