If the probability of event A is 1/4 and the probability of event B is 1/3, what is the probability of both A and B occurring?

Back

1/12 (P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 1/4 * 1/3 = 1/12)

What is the probability of the arrow stopping on '1' on the first spin and '6' on the second spin?

Back

1/36 (P(1) = 1/6 and P(6) = 1/6, so P(1 and 6) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36)
