Question

A spinner has 14 equal areas Numbered one through 14 if the spinner is spun one time what's the probability that the result is a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 2

Answer 1

0.643

Explanation:

Given that :

{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14}

Multiples of 2 : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14

Multiples of 3 : 3, 6, 9, 12

P(multiples o

(Multiples of 2 n multiples of 3) = {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12,14} = 9

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Hence,

P(multiple of 2 or 3) = 9 / 14 = 0.643
