There are 8 equal sectors on the wheel, and one of them is blue.
The probability of Keisha winning a prize on the first spin is 1/8.
Since each spin is independent of the other, the probability of Keisha winning a prize on the second spin is also 1/8.
To find the probability of both events happening, you multiply the probabilities:
(1/8) * (1/8) = 1/64
Therefore, the probability that Keisha will win a prize on both spins is 1/64.
Be sure you are writing out your steps. You will have to submit your shown work for each problem at the end Keisha is playing a game using a wheel divided into 8 equal sectors, as shown in the diagram below. Each time the spinner lands on blue, she will win a prize. If Keisha spins this wheel twice, what is the probability that she will win a prize on both spins?
