The probability of a spinner arrow stopping on green is 0.25. the probability of drawing a blue 3 from a pack of cards is 0.02. The two events are independent. What is the approximate probability of a spinner arrow stopping on a green and drawing a blue 3 from the pack of cards?

Be the event a spinner arrow stopping on green: A

The probability of a spinner arrow stopping on green: P (A) = 0.25

Be the event drawing a blue 3 from a pack of cards: B

The propbability of drawing a blue 3 from a pack of cards: P (B) = 0.02

The two events are independent

Probability of a spinner arrow stopping on a green and drawing a blue 3 from the pack of cards: P (A and B) = P (A ∩ B) = ?

Since the events are independent:

P (A ∩ B) = P (A) * P (B)

P (A ∩ B) = (0.25) * (0.02)

P (A ∩ B) = 0.005

Answer: The approximate probability of a spinner arrow stopping on a green and drawing a blue 3 from the pack of cards is 0.005
