A wheel has 1 red, 2 blue, 3 yellow, 4, green, and 5 purple spaces of equal area. What is the probability of spinning yellow and then spinning another yellow?

Question

Would the answer be 0.2? Please help.

Answer 1

P(yellow) = 3/15 or 1/5.

 

Two successive spins are independent of one another, so P(yellow, yellow) = (1/5)(1/5) = 1/25
