Answer:

B. Jamie is incorrect. Since spinning a number from 1-3 is certain, the probability is 1.

Explanation:

Probability is on a scale of 0 to 1, with 0 being impossible, and 1 being certain.

As the possibility of spinning and landing on a number less than or equal to 3 is 100%, as all numbers on there are less than or equal to 3, the probability would be 1, not 3.
