nothing.

(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

The probability that the spinner lands on

redred

nothing.

(Type an integer or a sim

plified fraction.)

Assume that the spinner to the right cannot land on a line. Determine the probability that the spinner lands on

greengreen

and determine the probability that the spinner lands on

redred.

A spinner is divided into six equal regions, each of which has a color. Three regions are red, two are green, and one is yellow.

Solution:-

Total number of regions = 6

Number of red regions = 3

Number of green regions = 2

Number of yellow region = 1

Probability of getting red = 3/6 = 0.50

Probability of getting green = 2/6 = 0.3333

a) The probability that the spinner lands on greengreen is 0.1111.

Probability of getting green = 2/6 = 0.3333

The probability that the spinner lands on greengreen = 0.3333 × 0.3333 = 0.1111.

b) The probability that the spinner lands on redred is 0.25.

Probability of getting red = 3/6 = 0.50

The probability that the spinner lands on redred = 0.50 × 0.50 = 0.25
