Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

A spinner is spun twice with 4 equal sections colored red, orange, green, and blue. What is the P(spinning one Red and one Blue)?

Answer 1

There are a total of 16 equally likely outcomes when spinning the spinner twice, since there are 4 possible outcomes on each spin. These outcomes are:

RR, RO, RG, RB,

OR, OO, OG, OB,

GR, GO, GG, GB,

BR, BO, BG, BB

Out of these 16 outcomes, there are only two outcomes that result in spinning one Red and one Blue: RB and BR.

Therefore, the probability of spinning one Red and one Blue is 2/16, which simplifies to 1/8. So the answer is P(spinning one Red and one Blue) = 1/8.
