Question

The spinner shown is divided into 8 equal sections. What is the probability that the arrow will land on a section labeled with a number greater than 3

Answer 1

The probability of the arrow will land on a section labeled with the number greater than 3 is $\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The spinner is divided into 8 sections say named 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

To find the P : probability of the arrow will land on a section labeled with the number greater than 3

Formula

P = (the number of possible outcomes) ÷ ( the number of total result)

We will count the probability when the arrow land on either 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 = 5 times

Total number of result = 8

Hence the probability = $\frac{5}{8}$
