A. 1/5
B. 2/5
C. 3/5
D. 4/5

Answer 1

Answer: Option A 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

• The probability of an event is a measure of the likelihood that it will occur or not.

• The formula used to find the probability (P) of an event (E) is as follows:

P(E) = Number of favorable events/total no. of events

• In the given question, the favorable event is the landing of the spinner on red. Since only one section is red, the number of favorable events = 1.

The total no. of events = 5

Therefore, P(E) = 1/5.

Answer 2

It would be letter A - 1/5.

Since there's only one red section in the circle and there is a total of five colors all in all, then the probability of a spinner landing on the red section is one out of five colors.
