Answer:

4.5

Explanation:

The Person who said C was correct but im just adding how to get it, just in case they ask you to show your work.

To find this answer you multiply each value by their probability, so 1 times 1/8, 2 times 1/8, 3 times 1/8, etc and all it all up.

Another way to find the answer is to add up all the values possible, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8, then divide by the amount of possibilities, in this case 8 because there are 8 sections on the spinner. This also gets you 4.5.
