Question

A spinner is spun twice with 4 equal sections colored purple, orange, green, and blue. What is the P(spinning two Greens)?

1 over 2
1 over 4
1 over 8
1 over 16

Answer 1

1 over 16

Since the spinner has 4 equal sections, the probability of spinning a green on the first spin is 1/4. And since the spinner is spun twice, the probability of spinning green twice in a row is (1/4) * (1/4) = 1/16.
