can you guuys help me with 8 more

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I am assuming the 4 colors are different, and only one is red. Each spin has a 1/4 probabiltiy of landing on red. These two spins are independent events, so the probability of two red spins in a row is the product of the two probabilities.

No. The probability is 1/4 for each spin. With 2 spins, the probability is 1/4 * 1/4
