Question

What is P(Consonant,C) on two consecutive spins i need help

Answer 1

The probability of consonant C is 1/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The spin board shown in the image has 4 different consonants that are  A,B,C and D.

• Therefore, it can be determined that one spin gives the total possibilities of 4 outcomes which is equal to A,B,C,D.

1 spin = {A,B,C,D} = 4 possible outcomes.

For 2 spins, the outcome will be {A,B,C,D} and again {A,B,C,D}.

2 spin = {A,B,C,D} + {A,B,C,D} = 8 possible outcomes.

To find the probability of consonant C :

Probability = Number of required event / total possible events.

Here, the required event is consonant C. In 1st spin, the event of consonant C occurs one time.

Then, in the 2nd spin, the event of consonant C occurs one more time.

• The number of required event is 2.
• The total number of events is 8.

Probability (consonant C) = 2/8 ⇒ 1/4.
