Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

Based on the spinner attached :

Faces are in equal divisions ; number of faces = 8

Probability the spinner will not land on a certain number = 1 - P(spinner lands on that number)

P(spinner lands on 5) = 1 /8

P(spinner will not land on 5) = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

P(spinner lands on 8) = 1/8

P(spinner will not land on 8) = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Hence,

P(spinner will not land on 5 or 8)

Required outcome = (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7) = 6

Total possible outcomes = (1.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) = 8

P(spinner will not land on 5 or 8). = 6/8 = 3/4

What is the probability that the spinner will not land on a 5 or 8? 5 points-example-1
