Question

You spin the spinner shown below once. Each sector shown has an equal area.

Answer 1

Answer:

P(beaver) = 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Spinner shown in the figure has 3 sections otter, turtle, beaver.

We have to find the probability P(beaver) in a single spin.

Total events n(S) = 3

and the favorable outcome in a single spin of spinner n(E) = 1

So as per rule of probability P(beaver) = $\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{3}=0.33$

Probability of getting beaver in one spin is 0.33

Answer 2

Answer:

0.33.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of spinner in which each sector has an equal area. We are asked to find the $P(\text{beaver})$.

Upon looking at our given spinner we can see that it has three sectors, so the total number of possible outcomes would be 3.

Since 1 sector represents beaver, therefore, number of favorable events is 1.

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible events}}$

$\text{Probability}=\frac{1}{3}$

$\text{Probability}=0.333333\approx 0.33$

Therefore, the $P(\text{beaver})$ is 0.33.
