4] The spinner below is cut unevenly. The probability of spinning a 1 or 4

are equal. The probability of spinning a 3 is 1/2 of spinning a 2. What is the

probability of spinning an odd number if the probability of spinning a 2 is

16%? Type in a numerical value in percent form with the % symbol (no

spaces). For example: 1%*

Answer 1

Probability of spinning an odd number is 84%

Explanation:

The probability of spinning a 1 or 4 is equal. Let this probability be X

Probability of spinning a 2 is 1/16

Probability of spinning a 3 is 1/2 of the probability of spinning a 2 i.e 8%

Sum of spinning 1,2,3 and 4 is equal to 100%

X + 16% + X + 8% = 100

2X = 100 - 16-8

X = 76%

Probability of spinning an odd number i.e one and 3 is

76% + 8% = 84%
