Question

A spinner included in a board game has four equally sized sections, as pictured below.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a.  0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

A spinner in an algebra problem is generally considered to have equal probabilities for equal areas. It is also generally considered to have the characteristic that the value produced by the next spin is independent of the value produced by the last spin.

With those assumptions in mind, the probability of getting a 3 is always 0.25. It is never anything else with this 4-section spinner.

Answer 2

Answer:

.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a random and equal chance, you can completely disregard what he got previously. There is always a 1 in 4 chance no matter what. .025 is correct.
