Question

what is the probability of getting a vowel (a success) for the spinner shown? 1/2 1/3 1/6

Explanation:

Step1: Identify vowels

The vowels in English are a, e, i, o, u. Here, only 'A' is a vowel among A, B, C.

Step2: Calculate probability

There are 3 equal - sized sections. Probability = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Favorable outcome (getting 'A') is 1, total outcomes is 3. So probability = $\frac{1}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$
