You spin a spinner that is equally divided into 7 parts. 3 parts are blue, 2 parts are yellow, and 2 parts are black.


What is the probability of the spinner stopping at a purple section? Write your answer as a fraction.

The spinner is divided into 7 equal parts, with 3 blue sections, 2 yellow sections, and 2 black sections. Since there are no purple sections mentioned, we can conclude that the probability of the spinner stopping at a purple section is 0.

Therefore, the probability of the spinner stopping at a purple section can be written as 0/7, which simplifies to 0.

Answer:

0

Explanation:


\displaystyle P(\text{Purple})=\frac{\text{Number of Purple Sections}}{\text{Total Number of Sections}}=(0)/(7)=0

Therefore, the probability of the spinner stopping at a purple section is 0 because there are no purple sections.
