A spinner is split into six equal sections with the sections colored as labeled in the drawing.Emily roller a number cube labeled 1-6 and spins the spinner.What is the probability of Emily rolling a 5 and spinning a yellow?
Answer:
The probability of rolling a five and spinning a yellow is 1/18
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the probability of spinning yellow and rolling a five
Since it is a number cube of 1-6, the probability of rolling a five will be 1/6
IN The spinner, we have 6 total spaces with 2 yellow spaces
The probability of spinning a yellow will be 2/6 = 1/3
So the probability of rolling a five and spinning a yellow will be;
Probability of rolling a five * probability of spinning a yellow
That will be; 1/6 * 1/3 = 1/18
