Answer:

[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When spinner is spun for the first time

Total events = {1,2,3,4,1,2,1,1} =8

Favorable events = {1,1,1,1} =4

So, probability = [tex]\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes }}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

So, probability of getting 1 =  [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

                                            =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

When the spinner is spun for second time

Total events = {1,2,3,4,1,2,1,1} =8

Favorable events = {1,1,1,1} =4

So, probability = [tex]\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes }}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

So, probability of getting 1 =  [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex]

                                            =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, probability that spinner will land on 1 both times : [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

                                                                                   =  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Hence the probability of hat spinner will land on 1 both times is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
