Question

a spinner has 8 equal-size spaces with the colors red, green, yellow, red, blue, white, green, and red. if you spin the spinner twice, what is the probability of spinning red on both spins? enter the answer in the space provided. use numbers instead of words.

Explanation:

Step1: Find probability of red on one spin

Count red spaces: 3 (red, red, red) out of 8 total. So \( P(\text{red}) = \frac{3}{8} \).

Step2: Probability of red twice (independent events)

Multiply probabilities: \( P(\text{red twice}) = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{9}{64} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{9}{64}\)
