Answer:


(3)/(4) probability of landing on a number greater than 2 on the spinner.

Explanation:

A theoretical probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

8 possible outcomes(all numbers from 1 to 8).

6 desired outcomes(3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, that is, all the numbers greater than 2). So


p = (6)/(8) = (3)/(4)


(3)/(4) probability of landing on a number greater than 2 on the spinner.
