what is probability of getting a multiple f 3 on the spinner
To determine the probability of getting a multiple of 3 on a spinner, we need some additional information:
1. How many sections are there on the spinner?
2. Which numbers are considered multiples of 3?
Please provide the number of sections on the spinner and the criteria to identify multiples of 3, so that I can help you calculate the probability.
To determine the probability of getting a multiple of 3 on a spinner, we need to know the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
1. Count the number of possible outcomes on the spinner:
- If the spinner has numbers 1 to 6, there are 6 possible outcomes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).
- If the spinner has other numbers or markings, count the total number of options.
2. Count the number of favorable outcomes (numbers that are multiples of 3):
- If the spinner has numbers 1 to 6, the favorable outcomes are 3 and 6. So there are 2 favorable outcomes.
3. Calculate the probability:
- Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Number of possible outcomes)
- Probability = 2 / 6
- Simplifying the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (which is 2 in this case):
- Probability = 1 / 3
Therefore, the probability of getting a multiple of 3 on the spinner is 1/3.
How many numbers are on the spinner?
If there are only 5 numbers, P = 1/5 = .20. If there are 6 numbers, P = 2/6 = .33.
