Question

how many different possible outcomes are there if you spin 4 spinners labeled red, blue, yellow?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of choices per spinner

Each spinner has 3 possible outcomes (Red, Blue, Yellow), so the number of choices for one spinner is 3.

Step2: Use the multiplication principle for independent events

For 4 spinners, the total number of possible outcomes is the product of the number of outcomes for each spinner. So we calculate \(3\times3\times3\times3\).
\[3^4 = 81\]

Answer:

81
