A spinner is divided into 10 equal sections numbered from 1 to 10. You spin the spinner once. What is P(4)
well, just 1 section out of the 10, so ...
To find the probability of spinning a 4 on the spinner, you need to divide the number of favorable outcomes (getting a 4) by the total number of possible outcomes.
The spinner is divided into 10 equal sections numbered from 1 to 10, so the total number of possible outcomes is 10.
Since there is only one section numbered 4, the number of favorable outcomes is 1.
Now, plug these values into the probability formula:
P(4) = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes
P(4) = 1 / 10
Therefore, the probability of spinning a 4 is 1/10 or 0.1.
