Question

Find the theoretical probability that the spinner below lands on the letter B. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use "/" for fractions with no s

Answer 1

The theoretical probability that the spinner below lands on the letter B is 1/2

Explanation:

Given

`S =\{A,B,B,B,C,C\}`

`n(S) = 6`

See attachment for spinner

Required

P(B)

From the attached spinner, we have:

`n(B) = 3` --- occurrence of B

So:

`P(B) = (n(B))/(n(S))`

`P(B) = (3)/(6)`

`P(B) = 1/2`
