Answer:
0.722
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all add up the sections 1 to 8 to make sure they add to 360
They do actually.
- 1 10
- 2 20
- 3 30
- 4 40
- 5 50
- 6 60
- 7 70
- <u>8 80</u>
Total 360
This is an area question. Every time you spin the spinner, it must come to an area labeled 1 to 8.
You could do this by setting up a ratio of each section and subtract the section for 3 and 7. That's the long way.
The shorter way is to add up the degrees for 3 and 7 and subtract them from the total (360)
Area 3 + area 7 = 30o + 70o = 100 degrees.
So the probability of landing in 3 or 7 is 100 / 360 = 0.278 (rounded)
The probability of Not landing on 3 or 7 is 1 - 0.278 = 0.722
