Two brothers, Paco and Jose, walk up to the spinner next. They’re both hoping to win a $10 gift card.

(a) Jose spins first and wins a $10 gift card. He says to his brother, “My winning a $10 gift card just reduced the probability of your winning a $10 gift card.” Paco replies, “No way!” Who is correct? Explain.

(b) Paco spins and wins a $10 gift card. He says, “Amazing! The probability of us both winning a $10 gift card must be less than 1%!” Is Paco correct? Explain.
