Given the spinner that goes from 1 to 8, you can identify that the total number in the spinner is:


TotalNumbers=8\text{ }

a. By definition, Odds Numbers are those numbers that are not divisible by 2.

In this case, you can identify that the Odd Numbers the spinner has are:


1,3,5,7

Knowing that there are four Odd Numbers, you can determine that:


P(odds)=(4)/(8)
P(odds)=(1)/(2)

b. By definition, Even Numbers are divisible by 2.

In this case, you can identify that the Even Numbers in the spinner are:


2,4,6,8

Knowing that there are four Even Numbers, you get:


P(evens)=(4)/(8)
P(evens)=(1)/(2)

c. Since there is only one number 3:


P(3)=(1)/(8)

d. By definition:


P(A\text{ or}B)=P(A)+P(B)

Then:


P(4\text{ or }6)=P(4)+P(6)

Since there is only one number 4 and only one number 6:


P(4)=P(6)=(1)/(8)

Therefore:


P(4\text{ or }6)=(1)/(8)+(1)/(8)


P(4\text{ or }6)=(2)/(8)


P(4\text{ or }6)=(1)/(4)

e. Since there is only one number 7:


P(7)=(1)/(8)

f. Knowing that there is only one number 1:


P(1)=(1)/(8)

Hence, the answers are:

a.


P(odds)=(1)/(2)

b.


P(evens)=(1)/(2)

c.


P(3)=(1)/(8)

d.


P(4\text{ or }6)=(1)/(4)

e.


P(7)=(1)/(8)

f.


P(1)=(1)/(8)
