Each player in a game will roll a number cube and spin the arrow on a spinner one time. The numbers on each face of the number cube and the shapes on the spinner are shown below.
. . numbers. , , shapes. , . .
What is the probability of getting an odd number and a 4-sided shape on the spinner?
1 over 16
1 over 2
1 over 6
1 over 8
The probability of getting an odd number on a number cube is 3/6 or 1/2 (because there are 3 odd numbers out of 6 total numbers).
The probability of getting a 4-sided shape on the spinner is 1/3 (because there is 1 4-sided shape out of 3 total shapes).
To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities together:
1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6
So the probability of getting an odd number and a 4-sided shape on the spinner is 1/6.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1/6.
