Problem

I have a spinner that lands on 1 with a probability of , 2 with a probability of , 3 with a probability of , and 4 with a probability of . If Phil and Sarah both spin the spinner, what is the probability that they get the same number?
Solution
This problem requires a little bit of casework. There are four ways in which they can both get the same number: if they both get 1's, both get 2's, both get 3's or both get 4's. The probability of getting a 1 is , so the probability that they will both spin a 1 is . Similarly, the probability of getting a 2 is , so the probability that they will both spin a 2 is , the probability of getting a 3 is , so the probability that they will both get a 3 is and the probability of getting a 4 is , so the probability that they will both get a 4 is . So our answer is .
Final answer
\dfrac{3}{10}
