Question

A spinner with 2 pink, 3 white, and 3 green spaces is spun. What is the theoretical probability, as a decimal, of landing on the color white? Round the decimal to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Hello!

The theoretical probability is the probability just based off of normal probability, not an experiment.

As you can see, there are 8 total spaces. We have 3/8 white pieces. To find it as a decimal, we just divide.

3/8=0.375

We round it.

0.38

Therefore, our probability is 0.38.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Find the total spaces:

2 + 3 + 3 = 8 total spaces.

there are 3 white, so the probability would be 3/8 = 0.375, rounded to the nearest hundredth = 0.38
