Question

Use the spinner below. What is each probability?




P(vowel)

Answer 1

P(A) = P(E) = 1 / 6

Explanation:

We are given a spinner split equally into 6 parts with letters A, B, C, D, E, and F. The vowels given are A and E. We can find the probability of each vowel by taking how many times they occur in the spinner and dividing it by the total sections of the spinner. Since the vowels A and E occur only once in the spinner, they'll have the same probability:

P(A) = P(E) = # of times they occur / total sections = 1 / 6

That's our answer!
