Question

a spinner is divied into 8 equal sections,and each section contains a number from 1 to 8.what is the probabilaty of the spinner landing on 5

Answer 1

Well since there are eight sections of 1-8 that meanst there are 8 different number 5s, and since there are eight sections of 8 it becomes 64, so if my math is correct 8/64ths of the time or 1/8. It might be wrong but I tried.

Answer 2

Possible outcomes (sample space) = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
Number of outcomes, n = 8
Probability of landing on 5
= 1 outcome / n outcomes
