Question

darell will spin this spinner once. what is the probability that he will not spin an odd number? $\frac{2}{5}$ $\frac{3}{5}$ $\frac{4}{9}$ $\frac{5}{9}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total outcomes

There are 5 sections on the spinner, so the total number of possible outcomes is 5.

Step2: Identify non - odd outcomes

The non - odd (even) numbers on the spinner are 6 and 8. So there are 2 non - odd outcomes.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (not spinning an odd number) is 2 and the total number of outcomes is 5. So the probability is $\frac{2}{5}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}$
