Question

Use the game spinner for questions 1-4. In your final answer, include all necessary calculations.

Answer 1

Answer:

P (Even number)  =  1/2

P(spinner will land on an odd number) = 1/2

P(spinner will not land on 2 or 3)  = 3/4

P(spinner will not land on a multiple of 3)  = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, while spinning the spinner total possible outcomes

are 8 = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}

Now, $\textrm{P(E)} = \frac{\textrm{Number of favorable outcomes }}{\textrm{Total numberof outcomes}}$

a) E: Probability of getting even number

Favorable outcomes are {2,4,6,8}

Hence, $P(E) = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$

b)E: Probability  that the spinner will land on an odd number.

Favorable outcomes are {1,3,5,7}

Hence, $P(E) = \frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$

c) E: Probability  that the spinner will not land on 2 or 3

Favorable outcomes are {1, 4,5,6,7,8}

Hence, $P(E) = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

d) E: Probability  that the spinner will not land on a multiple of 3

Favorable outcomes are {1,2,4,5,7,8}

Hence, $P(E) = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$
