Question 1097103: A probability experiment consists of rolling a six-sided die and spinning the spinner shown at the right. The spinner is equally likely to land on each color. Use a tree diagram to find the probability of the given event. Then tell whether the event can be considered unusual. the colors are yellow, red, blue and green
Event: rolling a number not less than 5 and the spinner landing on green
The probability of the event is

You can put this solution on YOUR website! probability experiment consists of rolling a six-sided die and spinning the spinner shown at the right. The spinner is equally likely to land on each color. Use a tree diagram to find the probability of the given event. Then tell whether the event can be considered unusual. the colors are yellow, red, blue and green
Event: rolling a number not less than 5 and the spinner landing on green
The probability of the event is
-----
Note: The probability of each of the colors is 1/4
-------------
Event: rolling a number not less than 5 and the spinner landing on green
The probability of the event is
-----
Ans: P(5 or 6) = 2/6 = 1/3
P(green) = 1/4
----------------
The events are independent, so
Ans:: (1/3)(1/4) = 1/12
-------------------
