Question 1

You are given a spinner with colored sections of equal size. The spinner has 7 blue sections, 10 red
sections, and 1 yellow sections.
Determine the theoretical probability of landing on red on the spinner.
P(red) -
(write answer as to three decimal places if necessary)
11

Answer 1

P(red) = 0.556

Explanation:

The total number of sections = 7 + 10 + 1 = 18

The reds make up 10 sections.

P(red) = Number of reds / Total number of sections.

P(red) = 10 / 18

P(red) =0.556
