The probability of landing on a 6 on the first spin is 1/3.
Assuming the first spin lands on 6, the probability of landing on a number less than 6 on the second spin is 2/3, since there are two numbers (4 and 5) that are less than 6.
So the overall probability is (1/3) x (2/3), which simplifies to 2/9 or approximately 0.22. Therefore, there is a 22% chance of landing on a 6 and then landing on a number less than 6.
You spin the spinner twice.
Numbers on the spinner are 4, 5 and 6
What is the probability of landing on a 6 and then landing on a number less than 6?
