Question

1. the spinner below is spun twice. what is the probability of the the arrow landing on a white space and then a space with stars?

Explanation:

Step1: Count total/white sections

Total sections = 8, white sections = 4.
Probability of white: $\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$

Step2: Count star sections

Star sections = 2.
Probability of stars: $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$

Step3: Multiply the probabilities

For sequential independent events, multiply individual probabilities:
$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 4}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$
