A spinner and 4 cards are shown below:

A spinner with 5 equal sectors is shown in the figure. The colors Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and Red are marked on it. The arrow points at the purple color. Four cards are shown on the right side. The colors Red, Yellow, Blue, and Pink are marked on them.
Jane spins the spinner and selects a card without looking. What is the probability that the spinner stops at purple and a pink card is selected?
1 over 20

1 over 5

1 over 4

9 over 20

1 answer

1 over 20

The probability of the spinner stopping at purple is 1/5 and the probability of selecting a pink card is 1/4. To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities together:

(1/5) * (1/4) = 1/20

Therefore, the probability that the spinner stops at purple and a pink card is selected is 1 over 20.
