there is a gameboard and the arrow has landed on seven.what is the probability of spinning a number larger than 6 on the spinner?
To find the probability of spinning a number larger than 6 on the spinner, we need to know the total number of possible outcomes and the number of favorable outcomes.
In this case, it seems that the spinner has numbers 1 to 7. Since the arrow has landed on seven, we can assume that it is not going to be spun again. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is 7.
Now, we need to consider the number of favorable outcomes. Since we want a number larger than 6, we have one favorable outcome, which is the number 7 itself.
So, the probability of spinning a number larger than 6 on the spinner is:
Favorable outcomes / Total outcomes = 1 / 7
Therefore, the probability is 1/7 or approximately 0.142857.
