Question

A colored spinner with eight equal sections is given.

Using the fair spinner, determine P(less than 6) when the spinner is spun once.

0.125
0.25
0.625
0.875

Answer 1

The probability of finding a number less than six equals the number of digits less than six divided by the whole number, i.e. 5/8, equal to 0.625.

Answer 2

The probability of landing on less than two sections when the spinner is spun once is 0.25.
