So since 2/3 of Spinner 1 is sedans (The 3rd is a truck), and 1/2 of Spinner 2 is purple (the other half is a green), write a multipilcation problem to describe the probability of spinning a purple sedan.
Write a problem to describe the probability of spinning a purple truck.
What is the probablity of NOT spinning a green truck??
looks like a probab of (2/3)(1/2) or 1/3 for spinning a purple sedan
NOT spinning a green truck?
First calculate the prob of a green truck
= (1/3(1/2) = 1/6
so prob of NOT a green truck = 1 - 1/6 = 5/6
To write a multiplication problem to describe the probability of spinning a purple sedan, we need to calculate the probability of spinning a purple vehicle from each spinner and multiply the two probabilities.
The probability of spinning a purple vehicle from Spinner 1 is 2/3, and the probability of spinning a sedan from Spinner 1 is also 2/3. Therefore, the probability of spinning a purple sedan from Spinner 1 is:
(2/3) * (2/3) = 4/9
So, the multiplication problem to describe the probability of spinning a purple sedan is 2/3 * 2/3 = 4/9.
Similarly, to write a problem to describe the probability of spinning a purple truck, we need to calculate the probability of spinning a purple vehicle from Spinner 1 (1/3), and the probability of spinning a truck from Spinner 1 (1/3). The probability of spinning a purple truck from Spinner 1 is:
(1/3) * (1/3) = 1/9
Thus, the multiplication problem to describe the probability of spinning a purple truck is 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9.
Now, let's calculate the probability of NOT spinning a green truck. The probability of spinning a green truck from Spinner 2 is 1/2, so the probability of not spinning a green truck is 1 - 1/2. Therefore, the probability of not spinning a green truck is:
1 - 1/2 = 1/2
In summary, the probability of not spinning a green truck is 1/2.
