    1) 21/190 = 11.05%

    2) 1/49 = 2.04%

    3) 1) 10 possible outcomes, 2) 1/5 = 20% for spinning on pink, 3) 1/5 = 20% for spinning on red

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1)

    We have a total of 6 + 3 + 4 + 7 = 20 cards, and from these cards 7 are purple, so the probability of selecting the first card purple is 7/20. Then, the probability of selecting the second card also purple is 6/19, because now we have 6 purple cards in a total of 19 cards.

    So the final probability is (7/20) * (6/19) = 21/190 = 11.05%

    2)

    We have a total of 7 letters, and all of them are different. So the probability of selecting t is 1/7, and the probability of selecting y is also 1/7, as the letter is replaced after being selected.

    So the final probability is (1/7) * (1/7) = 1/49 = 2.04%

    3)

    For the spinner we have 5 possible values, and for the coin we have 2 possible values, so the number of outcomes is the product of these number of possibilities: 5 * 2 = 10

    The probability of spinning and landing on pink is 1/5 = 20%, as we have one pink option among 5 options.

    The probability of spinning and landing on red is 1/5 = 20%, as we have one red option among 5 options.
