6.)A spinner is divide into 10 equal sections numbered from 1 to 10. You spin the spinner once. What is P(5)?

A.)1/3
B.)1/2
C.)1/10
D.)1/4

B?

come on. You want to land in one of 10 equal areas. The chance is 1/2? Try again.

how about C?

1/10 is the chance of hitting one out of 10 areas.

Sheesh!

To find the probability, P(5), you need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (the number of times you land on 5) divided by the total number of possible outcomes.

In this case, the spinner is divided into 10 equal sections and each section is numbered from 1 to 10. Since there is only one section with 5 on it, we have one favorable outcome. The total number of possible outcomes is 10 because there are 10 sections in total.

Therefore, the probability of landing on 5, P(5), is 1 favorable outcome out of 10 possible outcomes.

To express this as a fraction, we have 1/10.

So, the correct answer is C.) 1/10.
