Question

A spinner has 7 identical sections. Two sections are blue, 1 is red, and 4 of the sections are green. Suppose the probability of an event happening is t· What does each number in the ratio represent? What outcome matches this probability?

Answer 1

ok so probablity=(desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)

so total possible=7 siince 7 spaces

so example if you wanted to see the probablity of landing on the blue space then
desired outcomes=number of blue spaces=2
total possible=7
so probablity of landing on blue=2/7
2/7 means that if you spun it 7 times, you would land on blue 2 times
