What is the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number?
To determine the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number, we need to know the number of green slots on the spinner and the total number of slots on the spinner, as well as the number of odd numbers on the roll and the total number of numbers on the roll.
Let's assume:
- The spinner has 4 slots of different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow.
- The roll is a standard six-sided die.
The probability of spinning green is 1/4 because there is one green slot out of the four slots in total.
The probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6 because there are three odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of six possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
To calculate the combined probability, we multiply the individual probabilities together:
Probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number = (1/4) * (3/6) = 1/8
So, the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number is 1/8 or 0.125, which is equivalent to 12.5%.
To calculate the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number, we need to know the total number of outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
Let's assume that we are spinning a wheel that has only three colors: green, red, and blue. And let's assume that we are rolling a six-sided fair die.
The total number of outcomes for spinning the wheel is 3 because there are three colors on the wheel.
Similarly, the total number of outcomes for rolling the die is 6 because there are six possible numbers that can appear on the die.
Now, let's consider the favorable outcomes.
The favorable outcome for spinning green is 1 because there is only one green sector on the wheel.
The favorable outcomes for rolling an odd number are 3 because there are three odd numbers on the die: 1, 3, and 5.
To find the probability, we multiply the probability of each event. So the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number is:
(1/3) * (3/6) = 1/6
Therefore, the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number is 1/6 or approximately 0.1667.
To find the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number, we need to first determine the probability of each event separately and then multiply the probabilities together.
Step 1: Find the probability of spinning green:
If we assume a standard spinner with equally likely outcomes, let's say there are 6 equally spaced sectors on the spinner (including green). Only one of these sectors is green. Therefore, the probability of spinning green is given by 1/6.
Step 2: Find the probability of rolling an odd number:
If we assume a standard six-sided fair die, the odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5, while the total number of possible outcomes is 6 (numbers 1 to 6). So, the probability of rolling an odd number is 3/6, which simplifies to 1/2.
Step 3: Multiply the probabilities together:
To calculate the probability of both events occurring, we multiply the individual probabilities. So, the overall probability is (1/6) * (1/2), which gives us 1/12.
Therefore, the probability of spinning green and rolling an odd number is 1/12.
