Question

Marlee spins a spinner and rolls a 1-6 number cube. The spinner has 5 equal parts numbered 1-5. what is the probability Marlee will spin a 3 and roll a 3

Answer 1

The probability is 1/30.

There are 5 possibilities for the spinner and 6 for the number cube, so this gives us 5*6= 30 outcomes.

There is only one way to spin a 3 and roll a 3 at the same time, so the probability is 1/30.

Answer 2

$|\Omega|=6\cdot5=30\\ |A|=1\\\\ P(A)=\dfrac{1}{30}\approx3\%$
