Question

A spinner contains six equal sections: 3 red, 1 yellow, 1 blue, and 1 purple. What color do we expect the spinner to land on most frenquently?

A. Red
B. Yellow
C. Blue
D. Purple

Answer 1

A, red

It would frequently land on 3 because 3 takes up the bigger portion of the spinner

Answer 2

A) Red

Explanation:

We can find the probability of the spinner landing on each color by dividing the number of sections for that color by the total number of sections.

Probability of landing on red: 3/6 = 1/2

Probability of landing on yellow: 1/6

Probability of landing on blue: 1/6

Probability of landing on purple: 1/6

The spinner is most likely to land on red because it has the highest probability, 1/2 or 50%. Therefore, the answer is A. Red.
