Answer 1

Answer:

  (A) spinning red

  (B) picking blue

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 sections to the spinner, so the probabilities of spinning the colors of interest are ...

  red: 3/9 = 1/3

  blue: 4/9

__

There are 12 balls in the bag, so the probabilities of picking the colors of interest are ...

  blue: 4/12 = 1/3

  red: 5/12

__

We note that the numbers that are the same on these lists are 1/3 for spinning red and picking blue. We also note that point A on the number line is located at about 1/3 (more than 1/4, less than 3/8).

The events that can be modeled by point A on the number line are ...

• spinning red
• picking a blue ball
