Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
Question
![**Probability and Spinning Wheels**
**Suppose that you spin the double wheel shown below.**
*Diagram Description:*
The diagram features a double wheel, consisting of an outer and inner circle. Each circle is divided into eight equal segments, each colored differently. The colors used in the segments appear to be red, yellow, blue, green, and gray, organized such that each spin results in one sector being pointed to by the spinner on each wheel.
**Problem Statement:**
Assuming that the wheels are independent and each outcome is equally likely, determine the probability that you get (Express your answer as a simplified fraction):
(a) Red on both wheels.
\[ \text{(a)} \quad \text{_____________} \]
(b) Yellow on the outer wheel and blue on the inner wheel.
\[ \text{(b)} \quad \text{_____________} \]
(c) A color other than red on both wheels.
\[ \text{(c)} \quad \text{_____________} \]
(d) Gray on at least one wheel.
\[ \text{(d)} \quad \text{_____________} \]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa714d614-78a6-4d97-b2db-18c7cb38b192%2F32c2b0d8-89f4-4ebc-8e25-a17d68e2dc99%2Fs2fcagd_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
