Question

question 5(multiple choice worth 2 points) (theoretical probability mc) a colored spinner with eight equal sections is given. using the fair spinner, determine p(greater than 3) when the spinner is spun once. 0.625 0.875 0.125 0.25

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total outcomes

The spinner has 8 equal - sections, so the total number of possible outcomes when spun once is $n = 8$.

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes

The numbers greater than 3 on the spinner are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. So the number of favorable outcomes is $m=5$.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{m}{n}$. Substituting $m = 5$ and $n = 8$, we get $P=\frac{5}{8}=0.625$.

Answer:

0.625
