Question #102823
A spinner with the word PRIZE spelled out with all the letters is spun twice. Find the probability of getting Z both times.
Expert's answer
Assuming that the proportions of letters in the word PRIZE are equal on the spinner then each letter occurs with equal probability. There are 5 possible outcomes from one spin.
The probability of getting a Z is 1/5.
Probability of getting a Z and a Z is 1/5*1/5=1/25.
Answer: 1/25.
