Therefore,
<u>Multiplication Rule for Independent Events</u>
For independent events A and B:
Therefore,
Ari is incorrect. The spinner is divided into 4 parts, where only one part is yellow. Therefore, the probability of spinning a yellow is 1/4. As the events are independent, the Multiplication Rule should be used to calculate the probability of spinning 2 yellows. So the probability of spinning 2 yellows is 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16.
