Question

What is the probability of the outcome being an AA: 1/8B: 3/8C: 1/4D: 1/2E: 5/8

Answer 1

D. 1/2

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the probability of the outcome being A.

From the circle, we have different sectors labelled differently from A to E.

Thereare:

=> 4 As => 1 B => 1 C => 1 D => 1E

In total, there are 8 sectors.

The probability of the outcome being an A is the number of sectors labelled A divided by the total number of sectors.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} P(A)\text{ = }\frac{number\text{ of A}}{\text{total number}} \\ P(A)\text{ = }(4)/(8) \\ P(A)\text{ = }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is Option D.
