Question

The spinner above is used in a game. What is the theoretical probability of the given event with one spin?

P(a number between 2 and 7)

Answer 1

The theoretical probability of getting a number between 2 and 7 on the spinner is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the theoretical probability of an event, you need to divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the event is getting a number between 2 and 7 on the spinner. The favorable outcomes are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, which are a total of 6 numbers. The total number of possible outcomes is also 6, since the spinner has 6 equal divisions. Therefore, the theoretical probability of getting a number between 2 and 7 is 6/6, which simplifies to 1.

Answer 2

P(2<n<7)=(7-2-1)/(8-1+1)

P(2<n<7)=4/8

P(2<n<7)=1/2
