what is the probability of spinning pink and rolling a six? write your answer as a fraction or a whole…

Answer:

$\frac{1}{12}$

Explanation:

Step1: Find probability of spinning pink

Assume spinner has 6 equal - sized sections and 2 are pink. Probability of spinning pink $P(pink)=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$.

Step2: Find probability of rolling a six

A standard die has 6 sides. Probability of rolling a six $P(6)=\frac{1}{6}$.

Step3: Use multiplication rule for independent events

Since spinning and rolling are independent events, $P(pink\ and\ 6)=P(pink)\times P(6)=\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{18}$.
