Given,
The number of section in the spinner is 3.
Required:
The probability of landing on number greater than 8 and then number greater than 7.
The probability of landing on number greater than 8.
[tex]P(number\text{ greater than 8\rparen=}\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
The probability of landing on number greater than 7.
[tex]P(number\text{ greater than 7\rparen=}\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
The probability of number landing on number greater than 8 then greater than 7.
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(more\text{ than 8 and 7\rparen=}\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{2}{3} \\ =\frac{2}{9} \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the probability is 2/9.
