1/4.
Explanation:
- There are four equally likely outcomes on each spin (1, 2, 3, 4).
- There are two even numbers (2 and 4) out of the four possible outcomes.
- The probability of spinning an even number on each spin is 2/4 or 1/2.
- To find the probability of spinning an even number on both spins, we multiply the probabilities: (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4.

A traditional number cube is rolled twice. What is the probability that the first roll lands on an even number, and the second roll lands on an odd number? Express your answer as a simplified fraction. (1 point)
For a traditional number cube (with numbers 1 through 6) rolled twice:
- Probability of rolling an even number on the first roll = 3/6 = 1/2 (since there are 3 even numbers out of 6 total numbers).
- Probability of rolling an odd number on the second roll = 3/6 = 1/2 (since there are 3 odd numbers out of 6).
To find the probability of both events happening (first roll is even and second roll is odd):
1/2 (probability of first roll being even) * 1/2 (probability of second roll being odd) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.
Therefore, the probability that the first roll lands on an even number and the second roll lands on an odd number is 1/4.
- Probability of rolling an even number on the first roll = 3/6 = 1/2 (since there are 3 even numbers out of 6 total numbers).
- Probability of rolling an odd number on the second roll = 3/6 = 1/2 (since there are 3 odd numbers out of 6).
To find the probability of both events happening (first roll is even and second roll is odd):
1/2 (probability of first roll being even) * 1/2 (probability of second roll being odd) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4.
Therefore, the probability that the first roll lands on an even number and the second roll lands on an odd number is 1/4.
