A spinner has six equal parts labeled from 1 to 6. The spinner is spun twice. What is the probability of getting 3 twice in a row?

1/4

1/36

1/216

1/3

Verified Answer :

it is 1/36 multiple 6×6=36

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

A spinner has six equal parts labeled from 1 to 6

Total number of possible outcomes = 6

We need to find the probability of getting 3 twice in a row.

\(\text{Probability of getting a 3 in first row = }\frac{1}{6}\)

\(\text{Similarly, Probability of getting a 3 in second row = }\frac{1}{6}\)

So, to find the probability of getting a 3 twice in a row, we multiply both the probabilities of getting 3 in first and second rows.

\(\text{So, Probability of getting a 3 twice in a row = }\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{1}{6}\)

\(\bf\textbf{Hence, Probability of getting a 3 twice in a row = }\frac{1}{36}\)

Therefore, The correct option is B.
