Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a circle with four equal differently colored parts labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 clockwise. An arrow starting at the center points toward 1.
The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability of spinning an even number on both spins? Express your answer as a simplified fraction.
(1 point)
There are four even numbers on the spinner: 2 and 4.
The total number of outcomes when spinning twice is 4*4 = 16.
The outcomes when spinning even numbers on both spins are:
Event 1: Spinning 2 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin
Event 2: Spinning 2 on the first spin and 4 on the second spin
Event 3: Spinning 4 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin
Event 4: Spinning 4 on the first spin and 4 on the second spin
So, the probability of spinning an even number on both spins is 4/16 = 1/4.
