What is the probability of the spinner landing on 4?

What is the probability of the spinner landing on 4?

1/6
The probability of rolling 4 on a spinner depends on how many numbers there are on the spinner. If there are for example six numbers, 1 through 6 on the spinner, then the probability of landing on a 4 would be 1/6. Since there are six possible results of rolling a die, the probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6.

What is the probability of the spinner stopping on an even number?

There are three possible stopping places that are even, so the probability is 3 in 6 or 1/2 again.

What is the probability of a spinner landing on a number?

There are 3 ones on the spinner. The probability of spinning a ‘1’ is 3 / 8. The spinner will land on a ‘1’ three times out of every eight. The probability of the spinner landing on a number is equal to the fraction of the spinner that this number occupies.

Which is the most likely outcome of a spinner?

Anthing that occurs more than half of the time we describe as likely . The outcomes of the spinner are all fractions out of 8. We can label their positions on the probability scale by dividing the scale into eight equal parts. We can see that spinning a 1 is the most likely outcome because it has the biggest probability of occurring.

Why does the spinner always land on a 1?

Because 2 sections is less than half of the spinner, the spinner will land on a ‘1’ or a ‘3’ less than half of the time. Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume. Below is a spinner. The arrow is spun and the number that it lands on is the score that we receive. This number is called the outcome .

Which is more likely to spin a 2 or a 3?

Spinning a 2 and spinning a 3 are equally likely on this spinner because there is the same probability of each outcome occurring. The probability of spinning a 5 is 1 / 8 . We have filled our sample space with the probabilities of spinning each outcome. We can check that our fractions all add up to 8 / 8 or one whole.
