Question

In the spinner below the large wedges are twice the size of the smaller ones. What is true about the probability of landing on 6 and the probability of landing on 5?​

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

If we take each small section to be "1" unit, we can say the large sections (for "2" and "5") are "2" units each. So in total there will be 8 sections.

Since 5 is "2" sections, we can say:

P(5) = 2/8 = 1/4

And 6 is "1" section, so we can say:

P(6) = 1/8

Definitely, Probability of landing a 6 is HALF that of probability of landing a 5. Also we can see this is the picture.

So, from the answer choices, A is right.
