question 7
use the spinner below to find the probability of getting the following after 1 spin.
p(number > 2) = (round to 4 decimal places)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total outcomes

The spinner has 12 equal - sized sections, so the total number of possible outcomes is $n = 12$.

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

The numbers greater than 2 on the spinner are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. The number of favorable outcomes is $m=10$.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{m}{n}$. Substituting $m = 10$ and $n = 12$, we get $P=\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}\approx0.8333$.

Answer:

$0.8333$
