Question

example 3: the spinner shows the types of movies rented by customers at a store in one day. if the spinner is spun one time, what is the probability of the arrow not landing on a section labeled horror? a. ½ b. ⅔ c. ⅚ d. ⅚

Explanation:

Step1: Count total sections

Total sections = 6

Step2: Count horror sections

Horror sections = 2

Step3: Calculate probability of horror

Probability(Horror) = $\frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$

Step4: Calculate probability of NOT horror

Probability(Not Horror) = $1 - \frac{1}{3}$
$= \frac{3}{3} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

B. $\frac{2}{3}$
