Question

choose the correct answer.

1. probability of the spinner

a. $\frac{1}{2}$
b. $\frac{5}{8}$
c. $\frac{3}{8}$
d. $\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

1. First, count the total number of sections on the spinner:

• The spinner is divided into 8 equal - sized sections. So the total number of possible outcomes when spinning the spinner is \(n = 8\).

1. Then, count the number of favorable outcomes for the unspecified event (assuming we want to find the probability of some event related to the letters on the spinner). Let's assume we want to find the probability of landing on a particular letter. If we assume we want to find the probability of landing on \(X\):

• The number of sections labeled \(X\) is \(n(X)=3\).

1. Now, use the probability formula \(P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\):

• The probability \(P(X)=\frac{3}{8}\).

Answer:

C. \(\frac{3}{8}\)
