Since the spinner has 5 sectors of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Since the probability of an event = outcome of this event/total outcomes

Since the total outcomes are 5

Since the event is the number greater than 5

Since there is no number greater than 5, then

The outcomes = 0


\begin{gathered} P(>5)=(0)/(5) \\ P(>5)=0 \end{gathered}

The answer is 0

The answer is option A
