Question

Suppose you spin the spinner once. Find the probability.

P(yellow)

Answer 1

The probability would be yellow

Answer 2

`\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)`.
