1 of 151 of 15 Items Question The theoretical probability of a simple event is P(event) = number of favorable outcomestotal number of outcomes in a sample space EXAMPLE: A jar contains 10 green, 7 red, and 3 blue marbles. What is the probability of randomly picking a red marble? P(red) = number of red marblestotal number of marbles in the sample space=710+7+3=720 The probability of randomly picking a red marble is 720=0.35=35% Use the spinner below to complete the problem. Determine the probability of the spinner landing on a 3. (3 points) Enter the probability as a SIMPLIFIED fraction: Enter the probability as a decimal with two decimal places: Enter the probability as a percent: % Skip to navigation
To determine the probability of the spinner landing on a 3, we first need to identify the total number of possible outcomes on the spinner. Since the spinner has 15 items, the total number of possible outcomes is 15.
Next, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes, which in this case is the number of items labeled as "3" on the spinner. There is only 1 item labeled as "3" on the spinner.
Therefore, the probability of the spinner landing on a 3 is:
- As a simplified fraction: 1/15
- As a decimal with two decimal places: 0.07
- As a percent: 6.67%
