HELLLPP ASAP!! LAST QUESTION!! MEDAL!! Hallie is trying to win the grand prize on a game show. Should she try her luck by spinning a wheel with 6 equal sections labeled 1 to 6 and hope she gets a 5, or should she roll two number cubes and hope she gets the same number on both cubes? Explain.

spin the wheel because the probability of getting two fives is slimmer than getting one five... i hope this helps

He has helped you already lol

"With the spinning wheel, Hallie has a 1 in 6 chance of getting any number in the range 1 to 6. So the odds on getting a 5 are 1 in 6 or 1/6. Imagine that Hallie rolls just one number cube. Whatever number she gets, she then has to get that same number when she rolls the second number cube. She has a 1 in 6 chance of getting that same number.when the second cube is rolled. The odds/probabilities for both events are the same at 1 in 6 or 1/6."
