Question

The spinner is divided into 8 equal sections and the arrow is spun one time. What is the probability of the arrow landing on a number less than 4? Determine the likelihood of this event.

Answer 1

The probability is 75%

Explanation:

The probability would be the quotient of the number of times it can occur and the total number of options (that is, 8):

The numbers less than 4 are 1, 2 and 3.

These numbers are 6 times on the spinner therefore

`p=(6)/(8)=(3)/(4)=0.75=75\text{\%}`
