Respuesta :
The correct probability is 1/16.
Explanation:
There is 1 section marked 8 out of 8 sections. This makes the probability of landing on an 8 1/8.
The factors of 4 on this spinner are 1, 2, 4 and 8. This makes 4 sections out of 8, which makes the probability of landing on a factor of 8 equal 4/8=1/2.
Together, the probability of both events would be 1/8(1/2) = 1/16.

Answer:
Required probability = 1/16
Step-by-step explanation:
When we spin a spinner numbered 1-8, we find that each spin is independent of the other.
HEnce probability for getting any number from 1 to 8 will be equal to 1/8 and remain the same for each spin.
So Probability on two for the first time and factor of 8 on the second time
=Prob (landing on 2)*Prob (landing on any factor of 8)
P(landing on 2) = 1/8
Factors of 8 are 1,2,4,8
Prob (landing on factor of 8) = 4/8
Hence required prob = 1/8(4/8) =1/16
