Question

A spinner with repeated colors numbered from 1 to 8 is shown. Sections 1 and 8 are purple. Sections 2 and 3 are yellow. Sections 4, 5, and 6 are blue. Section 7 is orange.

A spinner divided into eight equal colored sections, with one orange, two purple, two yellow, and three blue.

Which statement about probability is true?

The probability of landing on orange is greater than the probability of landing on purple.
The probability of landing on yellow is less than the probability of landing on blue.
The probability of landing on orange is equal to the probability of landing on yellow.
The probability of landing on purple is equal to the probability of landing on blue.

Answer 1

the second one cause there is one less section of blue so the possibility of landing on yellow is less than landing on blue

Answer 2

The probability of landing on yellow is less than the probability of landing on blue.

Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of landing on yellow is 2/8, while the probability of landing on blue is 3/8. 2/8 is less than 3/8
None of the other answers can be right, because:
the probability of landing on purple (2/8) is greater than the probability of landing on orange (1/8),
the probability of landing on orange (1/8) is less than the probability of landing on yellow (2/8),
and the probability of landing on purple (2/8) is less than the probability of landing on blue (3/8)
