C.
0.667

D.
0.833

Answer 1

Answer: Option D (0.833)

Explanation:

There are 6 possible outcomes when the arrow is spun, and 5 of those outcomes correspond to the arrow landing on a number greater than 10 (the numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15).

Therefore, the probability of the arrow landing on a number greater than 10 is 5/6, or about 0.833
