Answer 1

Given that,

The spinner has A, B, C, D, E, F.

To find: Probability of not getting D

Step-by-step explanation:

First step to find probability of getting D.

Let D be the event of getting D.

Total possible outcomes n(S) is 6,

Number of ways on getting D n(D) =1

we have the formula as,

`P(D)=\frac{\text{ number of ways to get D}}{\text{ total possible ways}}`
`P(D)=(n(D))/(n(S))`

Substitute the value we get,

`P(D)=(1)/(6)`

To find P(not D)

P(not D) is the complement of P(D),

we get,

`P(\text{not D})=1-P(\text{D})`

Substitute the value we get,

`P(\text{not D})=1-(1)/(6)`
`P(\text{not D})=(5)/(6)`

Answer is:

`P(\text{not D})=(5)/(6)`
