In the spinner the probability of spinning red r is 1/2 and the probability of spinning either blue b or yellow why is 1/4 the spinner will be spun twice what is the probability that the result of the first being will be red and the second spin will be blue

To find the probability of two independent events both happening, you can simply multiply the probabilities of each event happening individually.

The probability of spinning red on the first spin is 1/2, and the probability of spinning blue on the second spin is 1/4.

Therefore, the probability of spinning red on the first spin and blue on the second spin is:
(1/2) * (1/4) = 1/8

So, the probability of the desired outcome is 1/8.
