Question

4. A spinner is divided into 10 equal sections numbered from 0-10. You spin the spinner once. What is P(not even)?

A. 3/5
B. 1/2
C. 5/11
D. 6/11 (I DON'T GET THIS)

Answer 1

If you spin it once, it has a 50% chance of landing on the odd numbers, and a 50% chance of landing on the even numbers. So, the probability of it landing on the ones that are not even is 1/2. The answer is B.

Answer 2

Your right Silver, I agree with that answer and its right on the test, thanks for the help understanding the problem and not just giving the answer!

Answer 3

This can't be right. Ten sections would be numbered 0-9 or 1-10, yes? No?

Answer 4

11 numbers, 6 of which are even if you count 0 as even (there are evidently 10 spaces between numbers but 11 numbers)

so 6/11
but the question is poorly worded.

Answer 5

Valid point by Writeacher,

if they they are numbered from 0-10 , there would be 11 sections.

Clarify before I answer it.

Answer 6

thank you and i had asked my teacher and she said it was scheuled to be updated since the question was wrong.

Answer 7

The answer is actually 5/11 because he asking what s the probability of rolling a number that is not even.

Answer 8

what are all the answers

Answer 9

its 5/11 because 0,2,4,6,8,10 are even, that is six numbers but we want to know what i not even which is 1,3,5,7,9 that is five numbers, so the P (not even) is 5/11

Answer 10

and it cant be 1/2 because there is no half of eleven
