you spin two wheels with equal size wedges labeled with numbers 1 through 9. what is the probability that at least one wheel lands on a multiple of 4 or the first value is strictly greater than 8?



Answer :

The probability that at least one wheel lands on a multiple of 4 or the first value is strictly greater than 8 is 53/99

The greatest number that can be formed by the two wheels is 99

Let event A be multiple of 4

Multiples of 4 between 1 to 9 is 4,8

Probability that at least one wheel land at a multiple of 4 is

[tex]\frac{2}{9} + \frac{2}{9}[/tex] = 4/9

Let event B be first value greater than 9

P(B) = 9/99 = 1/11

P(A∩B) = 0

Probability of at least one wheel lands on a multiple of 4 or the first value is strictly greater than 8

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

= 4/9 + 1/11 - 0

= [tex]\frac{4(11)}{9 (11)} + \frac{1 (9)}{11(9)}\\\\ \frac{44 + 9}{99}\\\\ \frac{53}{99}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability that at least one wheel lands on a multiple of 4 or the first value is strictly greater than 8 is 53/99
