Question

What is the probability of spinning the spinner and not landing on a vowel? Type a numerical answer in the space

provided. Do not type spaces in your answers. Use the / key for a fraction bar.
Plz help me I’m terrible at math.

Answer 1

Answer: 5/8

Explanation:

1. Count all the places that the arrow could land on, including the vowels. (The total number will give us the denominator aka the bottom number).

So far the answer is : ?/8

2. Next count all the places that the arrow could land on, EXCEPT the vowels. (This total number will give us the numerator, aka the top number.)

The number not counting the vowels is.. 5.

3. Put the numerator and denominator together!

5/8

4. You have reached the answer you were looking for! Congratulations! You're so smart and can do this!

Answer 2

Option C. \frac{5}{8} is the correct option.

Explanation:

In the given question numbers marked on a spinner are given = 8

Out of these numbers marked on spinner number of vowels are = 3

Therefore the sample set n(S) is = 8

and the favorable events are n(E) = 3.

As per rules of the probability, the probability of spinning the spinner and landing on vowel will be = \frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{3}{8}

Now probability of spinning the spinner and not landing on a vowel will be

P(E)' = 1-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8}

Option C. \frac{5}{8} is the answer.
