Spinner has 8 equal sides with 1, yellow, 3 red, 2 green and 2 blue...what is the probability of landing on yellow? What is the probability of NOT landing on yellow?
.what is the probability of landing on yellow? 1/8
What is the probability of NOT landing on yellow? 7/8
To calculate the probability of landing on yellow, we need to find the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes (landing on yellow) to the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, we have 8 equal sides on the spinner, with 1 yellow side.
Therefore, the probability of landing on yellow is 1/8.
To calculate the probability of NOT landing on yellow, we need to subtract the probability of landing on yellow from 1.
So, the probability of NOT landing on yellow is 1 - 1/8, which simplifies to 7/8.
