Question

10 which of the following is the probability against a spinner landing on a green space if the spinner has 8 sections and 3 of them are green? 67% 63% 59% 53% skip 9/10 complete

Explanation:

Step1: Find non - green sections

The spinner has 8 sections and 3 are green. So the number of non - green sections is \(8 - 3=5\).

Step2: Calculate probability against green

The probability against the spinner landing on green is the probability of landing on a non - green section. The formula for probability is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, the number of favorable outcomes (non - green) is 5 and total outcomes is 8. So \(P = \frac{5}{8}\).

Step3: Convert to percentage

To convert \(\frac{5}{8}\) to a percentage, we do \(5\div8 = 0.625\), and \(0.625\times100\%=62.5\%\approx63\%\).

Answer:

63%
