There are 3 odd numbers out of a total of 3 + 5 + 4 = 12 numbers on the wheel. Therefore, the probability of the wheel landing on an odd number is 3/12 = 1/4.
Since the wheel has equal probability of landing on any of the numbers, the probability of it landing on the number 4 after landing on an odd number is 1/12.
To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities together:
1/4 * 1/12 = 1/48
Therefore, the chance of the wheel landing on an odd number and then landing on the number 4 is 1/48.
wheel with 3 5 and 4 what is the chance it lands on an odd number then lands on 4

Apologies for the mistake in my calculation. Let's correct it.
Given that the wheel has 3 odd numbers out of a total of 12 numbers, the probability of it landing on an odd number is 3/12 = 1/4.
After landing on an odd number, there are 4 numbers remaining (including the odd number already landed on), and only one of them is a 4. Therefore, the probability of landing on 4 after landing on an odd number is 1/4.
To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities together:
1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16
Therefore, the chance of the wheel landing on an odd number and then landing on the number 4 is 1/16.
