Question

Use the spinner to find the theoretical probability of the event. Type your answer in box below in simplified fraction form.



a. Spinning red ___________


​b. Spinning a 1 __________


c. Spinning an odd number ___________


d.Spinning a 9 _____________

Answer 1

Answer:

A.) 1/3

B.) 1/6

C.) 1/2

D.) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of faces on spinner = 6

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

A)

P(spinning Red):

n(Red) / n(total)

n(red) = 2, n(total) = 6

P(spinning red) = 2/6 = 1/3

B.)Spinning a 1 :

n(1) = 1

Therefore, P(spinning 1) = 1/6

C.) spinning an odd number :

Odd numbers = 1,3,5

P(spinning an odd number) = 3/6 = 1/2

D.) spinning a 9:

9 isn't a number on the wheel

P(spinning a 9) = 0/6 = 0
