Answer:


\text{P (Yellow)}=(1)/(8)

Explanation:

We have been given an image of a spinner and we are asked to find the probability that spinner stops on yellow.

We can see from our given spinner that it is divided into 8 equal parts or sections and yellow represents one of the eight parts.


\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}


\text{P (Yellow)}=\frac{\text{Number of yellow sections}}{\text{Total number of sections}}


\text{P (Yellow)}=(1)/(8)

Therefore, the probability that spinner will land on yellow section is
(1)/(8).
