Question

1. On the spinner below, what is P(odd)? point)

Answer 1

It would be 5/8 . First option

Answer 2

The probability that odd turn up is:

P(odd)=5/8

Explanation:

We are given a spinner numbered as:

1 , 2 , 3 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 5 , 6.

i.e. the spinner is divided into eight sections out of which the odd number is in 5 sections.

( since the numbers are:

1 , 3 , 3 , 5 , 5 )

Hence, the number of sections numbered odd=5.

Total number of sections=8

Let P denote the probability of an event.

Hence,

P(odd)=Number of sections numbered odd/Total number of sections

Hence,

P(odd)=5/8
