You spin a spinner that is equally divided into four parts and then you spin it again. 1 part is red, 1 part is green, and 2 parts are blue. What is the probability of the spinner stopping on red section on the first spin and then a blue section on the second spin? Write answer as a fraction

Given:-

Spinner that is equally divided into four parts and then you spin it again. 1 part is red, 1 part is green, and 2 parts are blue.

To find the probability the spinner stopping on red section on the first spin and then a blue section on the second spin?

So here the sample space is the total probability of the chances. So we get,

[tex]n(s)=4[/tex]

So probability of getting red, we have only 2 red parts. so we have,

[tex]n(r)=2[/tex]

So the probability is,

[tex]p(r)=\frac{n(r)}{n(s)}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So the probability is,

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So the probability of getting blue is,

[tex]n(b)=2[/tex]

So the probability is,

[tex]p(b)=\frac{n(b)}{n(s)}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So the probability is,

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
