Question

miranda will spin this spinner twice. what is the probability that it lands on an 8 and then lands on an odd number? 4/5 4/25 3/5 3/25

Explanation:

Step1: Probability of landing on 8

The spinner has 5 sections. The probability of landing on 8 in the first spin is $\frac{1}{5}$.

Step2: Probability of landing on odd number

There are 3 odd - numbers (5, 7, 9) out of 5 sections. So the probability of landing on an odd number in the second spin is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Step3: Use multiplication rule for independent events

Since the two spins are independent, the probability of both events occurring is $\frac{1}{5}\times\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{25}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{25}$
