You spin a spinner that has 15 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 15. Find the theoretical probability of landing on the given section(s) of the spinner.
P (greater than 8)
You spin a spinner that has 15 equal-sized sections numbered 1 to 15 .Find the theoretical probability of landing on the given section(s) of the spinner.
Answer to Problem 6P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Given section is :
P(greater than 8)
Formula Used :
Calculation:
The total number of sections in the spinner = 15
The favourable number of outcomes of getting a number greater than 8 = 7 (since there are 7 numbers greater than 8 ={9,10,11,12,13,14,15})
Hence , the theoretical probability of landing on the section with number greater than 8 is
