Question

The spinner is equally likely to land on any of the six sections. a spinner contains 6 equal sections: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. sections 1, 3, and 5 are shaded. the spinner is pointing at number 6. what is the probability that the spinner will land on a number greater than 4 or on a shaded section? two-ninths one-half two-thirds five-sixths

Answer 1

The probability that the spinner will land on a number greater than 4 or on a shaded section is five-sixt

What is probability?

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. Mathematically;

Probability = Expected/Total

If the spinner is spinned, the total outcome is 1/6

Pr(greater than 4) = 2/6 = 1/3

Pr(shaded section) = 3/6 = 1/2

Pr(number greater than 4 or on a shaded section) = 1/3 + 1/2
Pr(number greater than 4 or on a shaded section)  = 5/6

Hence the probability that the spinner will land on a number greater than 4 or on a shaded section is five-sixths
