Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer:

Outcome. Probability

win 1/25

lose 24/25

In the given spinner game, there are a total of 25 equal sectors on the spinner. The player has to choose one sector, and the arrow will land on one of these sectors randomly based on chance.

So we can consider the possible outcomes:

Win: If the arrow lands on the sector that the player chose, they win the game. Since their is only one winning sector out of the total 25 sectors, the probability of winning is 1 out of 25, which can be written as 1/25

Lose: If the arrow does not land on the sector that they player chose, they lose the game. In this case, there are 24 losing sectors out of the total 25 sectors. So, the probability of losing is 24/25.

Therefore, the correct probabilities for a player who plays the game one time are:

*Probability of winning: 1/25

*Probability of losing: 24/25
