Ha spinner is divided into 6 equal sections numbered 1 through 6 if it is spun twice what is the probability of getting an odd number on the first spin and a number less than 4 on the second
There are a total of 6 * 6 = 36 possible outcomes when the spinner is spun twice.
There are 3 odd numbers (1, 3, 5) out of 6 numbers on the spinner, so the probability of getting an odd number on the first spin is 3/6 = 1/2.
There are 3 numbers less than 4 (1, 2, 3) out of 6 numbers on the spinner, so the probability of getting a number less than 4 on the second spin is 3/6 = 1/2.
Since the two spins are independent events, we can multiply the probabilities of each event occurring to find the probability of both events occurring:
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4
Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number on the first spin and a number less than 4 on the second spin is 1/4 or 0.25.
