Question

An experiment consists of spinning the spinner shown. All outcomes are equally likely. Find P(<7). Express your answer as a fraction in simplest forn

Answer 1

There are 8 total outcomes. Now, we need to find where P(<7).

This means the outcomes where the number is less than 7.

There are 6 numbers under the 7 = 1,2,3,4,5,6

The probability is given by the next formula:

`P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total of possible outcomes}}`

Where:

Number of favorable outcomes = 6

Total of possible outcomes = 8

Replacing these values:

`P=(6)/(8)`

Simplify the expression, divide both numbers by 2:

`P=(3)/(4)`

The correct answer is the second one.
