Answer 1

Answer:

The probability  of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the  die is $\dfrac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Total color in spinner = 4

Let the area of four parts is equal in the spinner.

We need to calculate the probability of spinning red

Using formula of probability

$P(A) = \dfrac{Number\ of\ red\ color\ outcome}{Total\ number\ of\ colors\ in\ the\ spinner}$

Put the value into the formula

$P(A)=\dfrac{1}{4}$

We need to calculate the probability of odd number of the die

Using formula of probability

$P(B) = \dfrac{Number\ of\ odd\ digits\ outcome}{Total\ number\ of\ digits\ in\ the\ die}$

Put the value into the formula

$P(B)=\dfrac{3}{6}$

$P(B)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

We need to calculate the probability  of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the  die

Using formula of probability of two events which is independent

$P(A\ and\ B)=P(A)\times P(B)$

Put the value into the formula

$P(A\ and\ B)=\dfrac{1}{4}\times\dfrac{1}{2}$

$P(A\ and\ B)=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Hence, The probability  of spinning red with the spinner or rolling an odd number with the  die is $\dfrac{1}{8}$
