Question

Spin the spinner below. Suppose that you win a prize if it lands on green. What is p, the probability of success? What is 1-p, the probability of failure? (See attached picture)

Answer 1

What is p, the probability of success?

7/10 or 0.7

What is 1 – p, the probability of failure?

3/10 or 0.3

Answer 2

Outcomes:

Success = 7

Failure = 3

Total outcomes = 3 + 7 = 10

p ( sucess ) = 7 /10 = 0.7

p (failure ) = 3 /10 = 0.3
