Question

A spinner with the colors purple, red, green, and yellow is spun. What is the theoretical probability of landing on purple? O P(purple) = 20% • O O P(purple) = 50% O P(purple) = 100% O P(purple) = 33.3% - O P(purple) = 25%

Answer 1

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur. Mathematically;

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since there are 4 colours to spun (purple, red, green, and yellow)

Total outcome = 4

If purple landed, then the expected outcome = 1

Substitute into the formula;

P(Purple) = 1/4

P(Purple) = 0.25

P(Purple) = 25%

Hence the theoretical probability of landing on purple is 25%
