Question
o begin, check that the Number of spinners is 1, Sections is 6, Number is 2, and thesign is chosen. In this game, a win (a favorable outcome) occurs if the spinner lands on 2.How likely do you think it is that a player will win the game? Explain
Solution
The spinner has 6 sections and only one of those sections results in a win (if it lands on 2). Therefore, the probability of winning is 1 out of 6.
Here's the step-by-step calculation:
-
Identify the total number of outcomes. In this case, the spinner has 6 sections, so there are 6 possible outcomes.
-
Identify the number of favorable outcomes. In this case, a win occurs if the spinner lands on 2. Since 2 is only one section of the spinner, there is only 1 favorable outcome.
-
Calculate the probability. The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of outcomes. So, the probability of winning is 1 (favorable outcomes) divided by 6 (total outcomes), which equals approximately 0.167 or 16.7% when expressed as a percentage.
So, it's not very likely that a player will win the game - only a 16.7% chance.

Next, Margaret spins a 5. How likely do you think it is that James will get a higher number?
As part of a board game, you need to spin the spinner, which is divided into equal parts. Find the probability that you get a 2 on your first spin and a number less than or equal to 5 on your second spin. Express your first answer as a fraction in simplest form, and round your percent answer to the nearest tenth.The probability is , or about %.
Of these outcomes, how many are favorable?D. What do you think are the chances of a favorable outcome on one spin?
