This is a compound event problem. (Check the videos from this week's assignments.). You roll a fair six-sided die and spin a spinner. What is the probability that the die shows a 4 and the spinner lands on yellow?

Fraction

Decimal (provide the first 5 decimal numbers)

Percent % (Round to the nearest tenth.)

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired probability is the product of the probabilities of two independent events.  The probability of obtaining a 4 on the fair 6-sided die is 1/6 (one out of 6) and that of the spinner's coming to rest on Yellow is 2/4, or 1/2.

Calculate the probability of this joint event as follows:  (1/6)(1/2) = 1/12

.24

step-by-step explanation:

the probability is   .24

the first player had the highest probability of getting a silver marble

the game could be made fair by adding back the marble that was drawn after each draw
