Question

You roll a spinner that is numbered 1-4. What is the probability of landing on a number less than 3 and then landing on a 4? (determine the answer and explain your process for doing so)

Answer 1

Answer:

The probability is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So there's 4 possible outcomes. So if you roll the spinner and you can only get one outcome. So it'll be 1/4.

Answer 2

Answer:

P(<3, then 4) = 1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of a number less than 3 would mean landing on a 1 or 2, which has a prob. of 1/2

probability of landing on the number 4 is 1/4

multiply the probabilities
