Question

assume that the spinner to the right cannot land on a line. assume all sectors of the spinner are the same size. complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) give the probability that the spinner shown would land on red. the probability is . (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of sectors

The spinner is divided into 4 equal - sized sectors.

Step2: Determine number of red - colored sectors

There is 1 red - colored sector.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability \(P\) of an event is given by the formula \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, the number of favorable outcomes (landing on red) is 1 and the total number of outcomes is 4. So \(P = \frac{1}{4}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\)
