A box contains four letter tiles with the letters M, A, T, and H. A spinner has five equal sections numbered 1 through 5. 

What is the probability of drawing a tile labeled T from the box and spinning an odd number on the spinner?

aaronq · Answer

so in the box, you have 4 options, and 1 choice.

so you have $\dfrac{1}{4}$ equal chance of drawing either of the tiles.

For the spinner, you have 5 options and 3 of them are odd.

so you have $\dfrac{3}{5}$ chance of getting a odd number.

The combined probability is $\dfrac{1}{4}*\dfrac{3}{5} =\dfrac{3}{20}=0.15$
