Answer 18

probability of the first one being purple is \(\frac{1}{5}\) since there are 5 evenly placed sections on the spinner

Answer 19

yes go on

Answer 20

probability a pink card is \(\frac{1}{4}\) since there are 4 cards and one is pink

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

to find the probability you get both , multiply

Answer 23

is it 1/20?

Answer 24

\[\frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}\]

Answer 25

yes

Answer 27

these 2 events are independent of each other so the probabilities are multiplied

Answer 28

we are assuming that the outcomes of each selection are "independent" so you can just multiply the probabilities together

Answer 35

The spinner has 5 possible outcomes: Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Red
The cards have 4 possible outcomes: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Pink

p(spinner purple) = 1/5
p(pink card) = 1/4

p(spinner purple and pink card) = p(spinner purple) * p(pink card) = 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20
