Given, in the spinner 8 equal sectors, numbered 1 to 8.

So total numbers = 8.

Let, the probability of spinning a 3 is P(Three) and spinning an 8 is P(Eight).

Now we know that, probability of an event E is

P(E) = (number of outcomes in the event)/ (total number of possible outcomes).

So here number of outcomes for spinning a 3 is 1 and we have got total outcomes = 8.

So P(Three) = \frac{1}{8}

Similarly, P(Eight) = \frac{1}{8}

Probability of spinning a 3 or an 8 = P(Three) + P(Eight)

= \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8}

As the denominator is same we can add the numerator.

= \frac{(1+1)}{8}

= \frac{2}{8}

Now we have to simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor of them.

The common factor of 2 and 8 is 2. So by dividing them we will get,

= \frac{1}{4}

We have got the required answer.

The probability of spinning a 3 or an 8 is \frac{1}{4}

Wx+yz=bc , solve for z .
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Wx+yz=bc
minus wx on both sides
yz=bc-wx
dividing 'y' on both sides
Hence,
z=(bc-wx)/y
Here is what you need.
