Question

Suppose you spin the spinner once. Find the probability.

P(yellow)

Answer 1

The probability would be yellow

Answer 2

Answer:

$\text{P (Yellow)}=\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a spinner and we are asked to find the probability that spinner stops on yellow.

We can see from our given spinner that it is divided into 8 equal parts or sections and yellow represents one of the eight parts.  

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$

$\text{P (Yellow)}=\frac{\text{Number of yellow sections}}{\text{Total number of sections}}$

$\text{P (Yellow)}=\frac{1}{8}$

Therefore, the probability that spinner will land on yellow section is $\frac{1}{8}$.
