Question

Find the theoretical probability that the spinner below lands on the letter B. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use "/" for fractions with no s

Answer 1

Answer:

The theoretical probability that the spinner below lands on the letter B is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$S =\{A,B,B,B,C,C\}$

$n(S) = 6$

See attachment for spinner

Required

P(B)

From the attached spinner, we have:

$n(B) = 3$ --- occurrence of B

So:

$P(B) = \frac{n(B)}{n(S)}$

$P(B) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(B) = 1/2$
