Question

If both spinners are spun simultaneously, what is the probability that both spinners will land on red?

Answer 1

Solution:

Given the spinners;

The probability that the first spinner lands on red is;

$P(red)=\frac{1}{8}$

The probability that the second spinner lands on red is;

$P(red)=\frac{2}{8}$

The probability that both spinners will land on red is;

$\begin{gathered} P(both\text{ }red)=\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{2}{8} \\ \\ P(both\text{ }red)=\frac{2}{64} \end{gathered}$

CORRECT OPTION:

$\frac{2}{64}$
