Question

Tom has a fair spinner with six sides. They are labelled red, red, blue, green, red, blue. Choose the word that best describes the likelihood that the spinner will land on a colour not green.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is MOST LIKELY NOT going to land on green.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the spinner has 6 sides, the total possible outcome is 6. There are 3 reds, 2 blues and 1 green.

The probability that the spinner will land on a green is $\frac{1}{6}$. But since we are looking for the probability that it won't land on green, we have $1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

From here we can best describe the likelihood that the spinner will land on a colour not green as: it is MOST LIKELY NOT going to land on green
