Question 237268: you have two spinners each with black white and grey sections. the grey section is twice as large as the black or white section. if you spin them both, what is the chance that one will come up black and one grey? show your work by drawing a diagram then indicate which ones satisfy the experimental conditions.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! you have two spinners each with black, white, and grey sections. the grey section is twice as large as the black or white section.
P(black) = 1/4
P(white) = 1/4
P(grey) = 1/2
--------------------------
if you spin them both, what is the chance that one will come up black and one grey?
---
The spinner results are independent.
P(black on one and grey on the other) = P(black)*P(grey) = 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8
