Question

henry has a fair number pyramid with four faces and a spinner with three equal size colored section. the possible outcomes for each are shown below. what is the probability that the number pyramid will land on 3 and the spinner will stop on blue

Answer 1

Assuming the pyramid is numbered 1 to 4 and there are 3 colors on the spinner, the probability of landing on 3 and blue is 1/12.

To find the combined probability, we just multiply the 2 individual probabilities.

P(3) = 1/4
P(blue) = 1/3

1/4 x 1/3 = 1/12
