A spinner has 8 equally sized sections, 6 of which are gray and 2 of which are blue.
The spinner is spun twice.
What is the probability that the first spin lands on gray and the second spin lands on blue ?
----
Note:: The results are independent events.
P(gray on 1st spin) = 6/8
P(blue on 2nd spin) = 2/8
-----
Ans:: P(gray on 1st and blue on 2nd) = (6/8)(2/8) = 12/64 = 3/16
