thank you

To find probability of yellow, first count how many squares the spinner has

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so the probability of getting yellow would be 2/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(an odd number and yellow) = \[\frac{ want }{ total }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, we are going to find the probability of achieving an odd number from the number cube

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so you miltiply that with what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so you could multiply it with either 1/4 or 3/4 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The probability of achieving an odd number from the number cube, so that is number of odd faces over total faces on the number cube

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you wold multiply 2/4 (yellow) and 2/4 (odd numbers) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The probability of achieving odd numbers is 3/6, do you understand this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would it be 3/6 instead of 4/6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so on the number cube you have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6. How many of these numbers are odd?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh 3! 1, 3, and 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, exactly!!! If you have 3 odd numbers, to find the probability you put it over the total, which is 6(since there are 6 faces on the number cube)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, to find the probability of getting both an odd number and the color yellow, you multiply 1/2 times 1/2, and there you have your answer :D

Your welcome :D
