Question 1027918: A spinner with numbers 1-8 is spun twice. What is the probability that it will land on 8 after the first spin and an odd number after the second spin? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The event of landing an 8 after the first spin is independent of the outcome of the first spin. Hence, the probability is 1/8.
Landing an odd number on the third spin is independent of the outcomes on the first and second spin, hence the probability is 1/2.
