For his experiment, Ryan is going to spin a spinner and roll a six-sided number cube. What is the probability of spinning "RED" and rolling a "2"?
How many colors are on the spinner.
You have 1/6 chance of getting a two on a six-sided cube.
If there are 4 colors on the spinner you would have a 1/4 chance.
Multiply the two fractions to get 1/24
To find the probability of spinning "RED" and rolling a "2," we need to know the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
1. Determine the number of possible outcomes for spinning the spinner. Let's assume the spinner has four equal sections: RED, BLUE, GREEN, and YELLOW. Therefore, there are four possible outcomes for spinning the spinner.
2. Determine the number of possible outcomes for rolling the number cube. Since the number cube has six sides, there are six possible outcomes for rolling the cube.
3. Multiply the number of possible outcomes for spinning the spinner by the number of possible outcomes for rolling the cube.
4 possible outcomes for spinning the spinner x 6 possible outcomes for rolling the cube = 24 total possible outcomes.
4. Determine the number of favorable outcomes. In this case, there is only one favorable outcome: spinning "RED" and rolling a "2."
5. Calculate the probability by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
1 favorable outcome / 24 total possible outcomes = 1/24.
Therefore, the probability of spinning "RED" and rolling a "2" is 1/24.
To calculate the probability of spinning "RED" and rolling a "2," we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of possible outcomes.
First, let's consider the spinner. Assuming the spinner is equally divided into different colors, we need to determine the probability of spinning "RED." To do this, we need to know how many total colors are on the spinner and how many of those colors are "RED."
For instance, if the spinner has 4 colors and one of them is "RED," then the probability of spinning "RED" is 1/4.
Next, let's look at the number cube. Since it is six-sided, the probability of rolling a "2" is 1/6.
To calculate the probability of both events occurring together (spinning "RED" and rolling a "2"), we multiply the probabilities of each individual event:
Probability of spinning "RED": 1/4
Probability of rolling a "2": 1/6
Probability of spinning "RED" and rolling a "2" = (1/4) * (1/6) = 1/24
Therefore, the probability of spinning "RED" and rolling a "2" is 1/24.
