There are two spinners containing only white and green slices. Spinner A has 4 white slices and 1 green slice. All the slices are the same size. Spinner B has 3 white slices and 9 green slices. All the slices are the same size. Each spinner is spun. List these events from least likely to most likely. Event : Spinner B lands on a green slice. Event : Spinner A lands on a white or green slice. Event : Spinner A lands on a white slice. Event : Spinner B lands on a yellow slice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, lets list the important things

only green and white slicesall slices same sizespinner A has 4/5 white slices and 1/5 green slicesspinner B has 3/12 white slices and 9/12 green slices

The 4 options are:

spinner B lands on a green slicespinner A lands on a white or green slicespinner A lands on a white slicespinner B lands on a yellow slice

We already know that choice 2 is 100% probable and option 4 is 0% probability, because in option 2, the spinner A ONLY has white or green slices so the spinner must land on the slice. In option 4, no matter which spinner is spun no yellow slices are available to land on.

the chance of option 1 happening is 9/12 which is 3/4 which is 75%

the chance of option 3 of happening 4/5 which is 80%

option 1 has a 75% chance

option 2 has a 100% chance

option 3 has an 80% chance

option 4 has a 0% chance

this means that the order is:

1. option 4

2. option 3

3. option 1

4. option 2

because it is least likely to most likely.

hope this helped you out and if you need any questions feel free to ask

good luck in maths!
