P(Blue1 and Blue2) = P(Blue1)*P(Blue2) = (2/5)*(2/5) = 4/25
There are 9 possible outcomes, but only 6 outcomes have different colors on both spins. Therefore, P(Different Colors on Both Spins) = 6/9 = 2/3.

asked 05/05/20question 1: The following tree diagram illustrates the sample space of the spinner being spun twice. Determine the probability that blue appears on either spin
question 2: The following tree diagram illustrates the sample space of the spinner being spun twice. Determine the probability that different colours appear on the two spins
First spin Second spin
blue 2/5 - blue 2/5, yellow 2/5, green 1/5
yellow 2/5 - blue 2/5, yellow 2/5, green 1/5
green 1/5 - blue 2/5, yellow 2/5, green 1/5
P(Blue1 and Blue2) = P(Blue1)*P(Blue2) = (2/5)*(2/5) = 4/25
There are 9 possible outcomes, but only 6 outcomes have different colors on both spins. Therefore, P(Different Colors on Both Spins) = 6/9 = 2/3.
