Given:-

A spinner with colours.

To find the probability of landing on a blue or yellow.

Since there are total 8 slices. we get,


n(s)=8

Let A be the probability of getting of blue or yellow is,


n(A)=4

So the total probability is,


p(A)=(n(s))/(n(A))=(4)/(8)=(1)/(2)=0.5

So the required percentage is,


0.5*100=50

So the required percentage is 50 percentage.
