Answer 1

`P(New\ House) = (1)/(6)`

Explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

`P(New\ House)`

This is calculated as:

`P(New\ House) = (New\ House)/(Total)`

From the attachment, we have:

`New\ House = 60^o`

`{Total}= 360^o` --- total angle in a pie chart

Note that the measurements must be converted to degrees (if not already in degrees).

So, we have:

`P(New\ House) = (60)/(360)`

Simplify

`P(New\ House) = (1)/(6)`
