Question

amira spins this spinner. the spinner has 5 equal - size sections.
determine if the probability of each event is closer to 0 or closer to 1.

event	probability
landing on a letter that comes after a in the alphabet	closer to 1
landing on d or e	closer to 0
landing on a consonant	?

options for landing on a consonant probability: closer to 0, closer to 1

Explanation:

Step1: Define total outcomes

Total sections = 5, so total possible outcomes = 5.

Step2: Count consonant outcomes

Consonants on spinner: B, C, D (3 outcomes).

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of consonants}}{\text{Total sections}} = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6$

Step4: Compare to 0 and 1

$0.6$ is closer to 1 (distance to 0 is 0.6, distance to 1 is 0.4).

Answer:

Closer to 1
