If you spin the spinner below twice, what is P(vowel, then K)? A spinner is divided evenly into 6 sectors. From the top of the spinner clockwise, the sectors are labeled A, J, S, U, K and Z. The spinner arrow points to the sector labeled K.
1/18
2/9
1/9
1/2
Since there are six sectors in the spinner, each sector has a probability of 1/6 of being spun. The probability of getting a vowel on the first spin is 2/6 (since there are two vowels: A and U) and the probability of getting K on the second spin is 1/6.
To find the probability of both events occurring in order, we multiply the probabilities:
P(vowel, then K) = (2/6) x (1/6)
Simplifying:
P(vowel, then K) = 1/9
Therefore, the answer is 1/9.
