Question

PLEASE HURRYAt a fair, each person can spin two wheels of chance. The first wheel has the numbers 1, 2, and 3. The second wheel has the letters A and B.

(a) List all the possible outcomes of the compound event.

(b) If you spin both wheels, what is the probability that you get either a 1 or an A? Explain.

Answer 1

a) 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b

b) You have a 1/3 chance of getting a 1, and you have a 1/2 chance of getting an A. Multiplying them gives us 1/6 chance of getting them both. Also, as seen in part a, 1a is one of the six outcomes.
