The spinner shown is spun once. Find the probability of each event. Write each answer as a fraction, percent, and decimal. P(red or yellow)
There are six equally likely outcomes on the spinner: red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and orange.
"Red or yellow" means that either the spinner landed on red or on yellow. There are two possible outcomes that satisfy this condition:
- The spinner lands on red
- The spinner lands on yellow
Thus, the probability of "red or yellow" is:
- Fraction: 2/6 or 1/3
- Percent: 33.33%
- Decimal: 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places)
