Question

The probability of a spinner landing on a 2 is 1/5. What is the probability that the spinner will land on a number other than 2?

A. 1/5

B. 2/5

C. 3/5

D. 4/5

Answer 1

D) because if the probability it lands on a 2 is 1/5, it means out of 5 numbers, only one is a 2. Thus, the other 4 must be not a 2. So when it asks "What is the probability that the spinner will land on a number other than 2?" the answer is 4/5
