Please help, I really need the answer to this. On a fair spinner with 8 equal sections... What is the probability of choosing 4 AND THEN choosing an odd number? (The answer must be a fraction)

I'd never dream of challenging John's math - and what he says is correct.

But, in a single sitting where one action occurs after the other, the odds of both happening, one after the other is 1/8 * 1/4 = 1/32

You have a 1/8 probability of choosing a 4.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

------Independent occurrences.

You have a 1/4 chance of pulling an odd number.

1, 3, 5, 7
