Given:
You spin the spinner once.
The possibilities are 6, 8, 17.
To find:
The probability of getting a prime number, i.e., P(prime).
Solution:
In the given numbers 6, 8, 17, only 17 is a prime number because it is divisible by 1 and itself.
6 and 8 are divisible by 2, so they are not prime.
The probability (in %) of getting a prime number is:
[tex]P(\text{prime})=\dfrac{\text{Prime numbers}}{\text{Total numbers}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{prime})=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{prime})=33.33\%[/tex]
[tex]P(\text{prime})\approx 33\%[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is A.
