Question

if you spin the spinner, what is the probability of the pointer landing in the y section? a $\frac{1}{2}$ b 1 c 0 d $\frac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total sections

The spinner is divided into 8 equal - sized sections.

Step2: Identify favorable sections

There is 1 section labeled 'Y'.

Step3: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, the number of favorable outcomes (landing on 'Y') is 1 and the total number of outcomes is 8. So, $P = \frac{1}{8}$.

Answer:

D. $\frac{1}{8}$
