A carnival game wheel has 12 equal sections. One of the sections contains a star . To win a prize the player must land on the section with the star on two
consecutive spins. What is the probability of a player winning?


Please give a detailed answer

Sagot :

The probability of landing a star is 1/12 and when you spin it again because nothing has changed it is still 1/12 to find the probability you would multiply them. So 1/12 x 1/12 = 1/144
the probability of landing on a star two consecutive times is a 1/144 chance.
