You get one spin.what is the probability of spinning a number larger than 6 out of 8.
To calculate the probability of spinning a number larger than 6 out of 8, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
In this scenario, we have one spin with eight possible outcomes, which are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. We want to find the probability of spinning a number larger than 6, so the favorable outcomes are the numbers 7 and 8.
The probability can be calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes:
Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
Number of favorable outcomes = 2 (7 and 8)
Total number of possible outcomes = 8
Probability = 2 / 8
Probability = 1/4
Therefore, the probability of spinning a number larger than 6 out of 8 is 1/4 or 25%.
