Question

There is A Spinner That Have 8 Space 1-8 What Is The Probability That Te Spinner Will NOT Land On 5 or 8?

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Key skills needed: Probability, Possible Outcomes

1) We are given a spinner --> With numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, and 8

That means there are 8 numbers on the spinner.

2) The problem asks what is the probability that the spinner will not land on 5 or the 8.

To calculate this -->
`(acceptedoutcomes)/(total)`

3) The accepted outcomes are when the spinner lands on --> 1,2,3,4,6,7

That is 6 accepted outcomes.

4) The total outcomes is 8 (since there are numbers the spinner can land on).

5) Therefore, the answer would be
`(6)/(8)`

`(6)/(8)` can be simplified into
`(3)/(4)` as both the numerator (6) and the denominator (8) share a factor of 2.

6) With this -->
`(3)/(4)` is the answer.
