Answer 1

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 5 sectors.

1 sector contains a squirrel.

4 sectors do not contain a squirrel.

p(event) = (number of desired outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

Since you want the probability of not landing on a squirrel, and 4 sectors do not contain a squirrel, the number of desired outcomes is 4.

The total number of outcomes is 5.

p(not squirrel) = 4/5 = 0.8

Answer 2

Answer:

0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

P(squirrel) = ⅕

P(not squirrel) = 1 - P(squirrel)

1 - ⅕ = ⅘ or 0.80
