Question

Suppose we spin the following spinner with the first spin giving the numerator and the second spin giving the denominator of a fraction. What is the probability that the reaction will be greater than or equal to 6/5?

Answer 1

The probability that the fraction will be greater than or equal to 6/5 is 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that the fraction will be greater than or equal to 6/5, we need to determine the possible outcomes for the numerator and the denominator. The spinner has numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} on its faces. For the numerator, the possible outcomes that are greater than or equal to 6 are {6}. For the denominator, the possible outcomes are {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. To calculate the probability, we divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:

P(E) = Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes

P(E) = 1/6
