Question

Base your answer to the question on the diagram shown below. What is the probability of spinning the spinner and not landing on a vowel?

A. 3/8
B. 1/2
C. 5/8

Answer 1

The answer is 5/8. Because 5 of them are not vowels out of 8 being the total number of spaces on the spinner

Answer 2

Option C.
`(5)/(8)` is the correct option.

Explanation:

In the given question numbers marked on a spinner are given = 8

Out of these numbers marked on spinner number of vowels are = 3

Therefore the sample set n(S) is = 8

and the favorable events are n(E) = 3.

As per rules of the probability, the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on vowel will be =
`(n(E))/(n(S))=(3)/(8)`

Now probability of spinning the spinner and not landing on a vowel will be

P(E)' =
`1-(3)/(8)=(5)/(8)`

Option C.
`(5)/(8)` is the answer.
