Chapter 10.7, Problem 31CCR

To determine

To calculate: The probability of $\left(\text{A,J,M,E,W,or P}\right)$ as a percent or fraction and the likelihood of the event are to be described.

Answer to Problem 31CCR

  $1,100\%,\text{A}\text{certain}\text{event}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: A spinner which shows different alphabets spun at once.

Formula used: Probability $\left(P\right)=$

  $\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes }}{\text{total number of outcomes}}$

Calculation: In spinner all sections $\left(\text{A,J,M,E,W,or P}\right)$ are present out of six sections.

Probability $\left(P\right)=$

  $\frac{6}{6}=1=100\%$
