Question

1. look at this spinner and answer the following questions:

1b which event has a probability of 30%?
a spinning a apple or star
b spinning a teddy bear
c spinning a bird or apple
d spinning a basketball or bird

Explanation:

To solve this, we assume the spinner is divided into sections (e.g., 10 sections for easy percentage calculation, since 30% is 3/10). We analyze each option:

• Option A: Spinning an apple or star. If each of these has a certain number of sections, but likely not 3.
• Option B: Spinning a teddy bear. If the teddy’s section is 30% (3 out of 10), but usually a single icon’s probability is less or more. Wait, maybe the spinner has sections: let's think of typical spinner problems. Often, such spinners have 10 equal parts (to make percentage easy). 30% is 3 parts.
• Option C: Spinning a bird or apple. If bird and apple each have, say, 1.5? No, better: assume the spinner has sections like: Basketball (E), Apple, Star, Teddy, Bird, etc. Wait, the key is that 30% is 3/10. Let's check the options. If “Spinning a teddy bear” (Option B) is 30%, but maybe the correct option is B? Wait, no—wait, maybe the spinner has 10 sections. Let's re-express:

Wait, the problem is about which event has 30% probability. Let's assume the spinner’s sections: suppose the teddy bear (Option B) occupies 30% of the spinner (3 out of 10 sections). Or maybe the bird and apple (Option C) sum to 30%? No, likely Option B is the answer, but wait—wait, maybe the correct answer is B. Spinning a teddy bear (if the teddy’s area is 30% of the spinner).

Answer:

B. Spinning a teddy bear
