Q. 4. If you spin the spinner twice, what is the probability of spinning pink then brown
Total Colors and Frequencies: First, we need to know the total number of colors on the spinner and how many times pink and brown appear. Let's say there are 8 sections on the spinner with 2 pink and 2 brown sections.
Calculate Pink Probability: Now, calculate the probability of spinning pink first.Probability of pink = Number of pink sections / Total number of sections = 82=41.
Calculate Brown Probability: Next, calculate the probability of spinning brown second. Since we're not replacing the first spin, the total number of sections is now 7. Probability of brown =Total number of sectionsNumber of brown sections=72.
Overall Probability Calculation: Finally, multiply the probabilities of the two independent events to get the overall probability.Probability of pink then brown = Probability of pink ∗ Probability of brown = 41∗72 = 282 = 141.
