Question

There is a spinner with 14 equal areas, numbered 1 through 14. If the spinner is spun one time, what is the probability that the result is a multiple of 4 or a multiple of 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

Probability that the result is a multiple of 4 or a multiple of 3=  0.428

Step-by-step explanation:

The spinner is divided into 14 equal areas.

Probability of an event=$\frac{number of favourable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}$

For favourable events,result should be a multiple of 3 or 4.

All the possible outcomes are=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14

• Multiples of 3=3,6,9,12

• Multiples of 4=4,8,12

Hence the favourable outcomes are=3,4,6,8,9,12

Number of favourable outcomes=6

Total number of outcomes=14

Probability=$\frac{6}{14}$

                 =0.428
