Question

you spin the spinner below one time.what is the probability of getting greater than it equal to three?P(greater than or equal to three)

Answer 1

`\displaystyle p=(9)/(12)=(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Probability

If a given event has m forms of being successful out of n total possible outcomes, then the probability is:

`\displaystyle p=(m)/(n)`

The spinner has n=12 spaces and the following spaces have numbers equal or greater than 3: {4,5,5,3,4,3,5,3,5}. It can be notes that m=9 outcomes are favorable.

Calculating the probability:

`\boxed{\displaystyle p=(9)/(12)=(3)/(4)}`
