Question

Rafael has a spinner equally divided into 4 sections of different colors: red, blue, yellow, and green. He also has a fair 6-sided die. Find the probability the spinner lands on blue and he rolls an even number.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The probability of the spinner landing on blue is 1/4, since there are 4 equally likely outcomes.

The probability of rolling an even number on a fair 6-sided die is 3/6 or 1/2, since there are 3 even numbers (2, 4, 6) out of 6 possible outcomes.

To find the probability of both events happening together (landing on blue and rolling an even number), we multiply their probabilities:

P(blue and even) = P(blue) x P(even)

= 1/4 x 1/2

= 1/8

Therefore, the probability of the spinner landing on blue and rolling an even number is 1/8.
