Question

A spinner has 5 equal-sized sections, labeled A, B, C, D, and E. How many possible outcomes would there be if you were to spin the spinner? There are possible outcomes. Nice! What’s the theoretical probability of not landing on a vowel? There are 5 possible outcomes. Probability of not landing on a vowel =

Answer 1

`(3)/(5)`

Explanation:

This question requires you to identify how many of the letters are vowels and how many are consonants.

a, e, i, o and u (and occasionally y) are the only vowels in the alphabet.

In this case, a and e are on the spinner, meaning
`(2)/(5)` of the options are vowels.

This leaves
`(3)/(5)` of the options as consonants (or not vowels). This means you have a
`(3)/(5)` chance of not landing on a vowel.
