The probability of landing on a 3 is 1/3 since there is one 3 on the spinner out of three possible numbers.
The probability of landing on a number less than 3 is 1/3 since there are two numbers less than 3 on the spinner (2 and 3) out of three possible numbers.
To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities:
1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9
Therefore, the probability of landing on a 3 and then landing on a number less than 3 is 1/9 or approximately 0.1111.
You spin the spinner twice.
2, 3, 4
