These are independent events; neither one depends on the results of the other.

Why are the events of spinning a spinner and rolling a number cube independent events?
Because the number cube is not sentient enough to know the result of the spinner and modify its own outcome accordingly. And conversely, the outcome of the spinner is not affected by the roll of the cube.

What is the probability of spinning red on the first spinner and blue on the second spinner?
The answer will depend on the patter of colours on the two spinners.
What is the probability of spinning a number?
The answer depends on the shape of the spinner and the numbers on it.

hey people i dont really no the answer lol

What is the probability that you will spin a 4 and roll a 4?
Assuming each possible number on a spinner has the same probability and an unbiased die is being rolled, the answer depends on how many numbers are on the spinner, and how many times the number 4 appears on each.To find the probability, workout the probability of spinning a 4 on the spinner and the probability of rolling a 4 on the die; then as spinning the spinner has no effect on rolling the die, they are independent events and to get the probability of both happening multiply them together.The probability of success is the number of successful outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes, giving:Probability(spinning a 4) = how_many_4s_are_on_the_spinner / how_many_numbers_are_on_the_spinnerProbability(rolling a 4) = how_many_4s_are_on_the_die / how_many_numbers_are_on_the_dieProbability(spinning a 4 and rolling a 4) = Probability(spinning a 4) × Probability(rolling a 4)Examples:an octagonal spinner with the numbers 1-4 on it each twice and a tetrahedral die (as used in D&D games) with the numbers 1-4 on it→ pr(spin 4 & roll 4) = 2/8 × 1/4 = 1/16a decagonal spinner with the numbers 0-9 and a tetrahedral die with the numbers 0-3 on it→ pr(spin 4 & roll 4) = 1/10 × 0/4 = 0a decagonal spinner with the numbers 0-9 and a standard die with the numbers 1-6 on it→ pr(spin 4 & roll 4) = 1/10 × 1/6 =1/60
Which can not be used to display all the possible outcomes for rolling a fair die and spinning a spinner numbered 1 through 8?
A banana cannot be used.
Does spinning a four section spinner affect a six-sided number cube will land upon when tossed?
Presuming that the spinner and the number cube are both "fair", then no - spinning the spinner and tossing the six-sided number cube are called statistically independent events. They do not influence each other, and it does not matter which order the events occur in.
How many outcomes are there for the event of rolling a 6 sided number cube and then spinning a 10 part spinner?
We say that these are independent events, meaning that the outcome of rolling the cube does not influence what outcome of rotating the spinner. For each outcome of rolling the cube there are 10 outcomes from the spinner. We can therefore, multiply the numbers of possibilities: 6 * 10 = 60 One way of seeing this is to list the possible outcomes : C1 S1 C1 S2 C1 S3 . . . C1 S10 Notice that there are 10 spinner possibilities for one cube event. There are 5 more possible cube events, hence, 50 combination events.
