A game has two players. On each turn, a player spins two spinners to
determine how far to move a game piece.
• Each spinner is divided into
4
equal sections.
• A different integer from
1
to
4
is written on each section of one
spinner.
• A different integer from −1
to
2
is written on each section of the other
spinner.
• The player finds the sum of the integers shown and moves the game
piece that number of spaces.
• The first player to land on or pass the “Win” space wins the game.
The figure shows the position of each player’s game pieces. Player A needs to
move 6 spaces or more to win and Player B needs to move
3 spaces or more to win. If Player A has the next turn, what is the probability that Player A
wins the game? Show or explain how you determined your answer.
• If Player B has the next turn, what is the probability that Player B
wins the game?
