The spinner below has 6 equal regions. Find the probability of landing on yellow for the first spin and not landing on yellow on the second spin.

• A. 0.11
• B. 0.22
• C. 0.66
• D. 0.88

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. First, identify the total number of regions on the spinner. In this case, there are 6 equal regions.
2. Next, count the number of yellow regions on the spinner. There are 2 yellow regions.
3. Calculate the probability of landing on yellow for the first spin. This is the number of yellow regions divided by the total number of regions: \( \frac{2}{6} \).
4. Now, calculate the probability of not landing on yellow on the second spin. There are 4 non-yellow regions, so the probability is \( \frac{4}{6} \).
5. To find the combined probability of both events (landing on yellow first and not landing on yellow second), multiply the probabilities of each event: \( \frac{2}{6} \times \frac{4}{6} \).
