Question

Spinner 5 sections: green, blue, purple, yellow, and red, and 4 cards: red, yellow, blue, and pink. What is the probability that the spinner stops at purple and the pink card is selected?

Answer 1

ANSWER

$\frac{1}{20}$

EXPLANATION

The spinner has 5 sections and there are 4 cards.

The probability that the spinner stops at purple and the pink card is selected is the product of the probability that the spinner stops at purple and the probability that the pink card is selected.

Hence, the probability is:

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{1}{5}*\frac{1}{4} \\ \\ P=\frac{1}{20} \end{gathered}$

That is the answer.
