Question

A spinner is spun that has 15 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 15. What is the probability the spinner lands on a multiple of five? $\frac{1}{15}$$\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

Given that there are 15 equal sized sections numbered 1 to 15, so the soinner can land in any one of these 15 sections.

The sample space of the experiment is given by,

$S=\lbrace1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15\rbrace$

Therefore, the total number of outcomes is 15.
