Question

Lila is making a spinner game for her cousins to play she has divided it into 8 equal sections

Answer 1

Using the probability concept, it is found that:

• a) P(star) = 3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%.
• b) P(not diamond) = 7/8 = 0.875 = 87.5%.
• c) P(flower) = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%.
• d) You would expect to spin a heart 25 times.

------------------------------------------------

• A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Item a:

• Of the 8 sections, 3 are stars.
• $\frac{3}{8} = 0.375$

Then:

P(star) = 3/8 = 0.375 = 37.5%.

Item b:

• Of the 8 sections, 7 are not diamonds.
• $\frac{7}{8} = 0.875$

Then:

P(not diamond) = 7/8 = 0.875 = 87.5%.

Item c:

• Of the 8 sections, 2 are flowers.
• $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

Then:

P(flower) = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%.

Item d:

• 2 out of the 8 sections are hearts, then:

$p = \frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$

Out of 100:

$\frac{1}{4} \times 100 = \frac{100}{4} = 25$

You would expect to spin a heart 25 times.
