Question

What is the probability of spinning the spinner and not landing on a vowel? Type a numerical answer in the space

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. \frac{5}{8} is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question numbers marked on a spinner are given = 8

Out of these numbers marked on spinner number of vowels are = 3

Therefore the sample set n(S) is = 8

and the favorable events are n(E) = 3.

As per rules of the probability, the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on vowel will be = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{3}{8}

Now probability of spinning the spinner and not landing on a vowel will be

P(E)' = 1-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}

Option C. \frac{5}{8} is the answer.
