Question

Select the correct answer.A spinner is divided into eight equal parts numbered 1 to 8. If the spinner is spun once, what is the probability that it stops on a number that is a multiple of 2?A-0.25B-0.37C-0.5D. 1

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

From number 1 to 8, the multiples of 2 are as follows

`2,4,6,8`

Therefore, the probability that the spinner stops on a number that is a multiple of 2 becomes

`Pr(2_(multiple))=\frac{number\text{ }of\text{ }multiples\text{ }of\text{ }two}{total\text{ numbers in the spinner}}=(4)/(8)=(1)/(2)=0.5`

Answer: 0.5
