On a spinner with two equal sections labeled 2 and 3, Josie determines that the probability of landing on 2 or 3 are equally likely. Which shows the probability of landing on a 2? Select two answers
A. 1/2
B. 2/3
C. 0.1
D. 0.2
E. 50%
F. 100%
I think it’s E and 0.1??
I think its E because she said there's a likely chance of it spinning on 2 or 3.
E and A are my final answers. There's a 50 - 50 chance so I almost certain its A and E.
A and E are correct : )
A and E B/C I got it correct
To determine the probability of landing on a specific outcome, you need to divide the number of desired outcomes by the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, the spinner has two equal sections labeled 2 and 3, so the total number of possible outcomes is 2 (since there are only two sections).
To calculate the probability of landing on a 2, you need to count the number of sections that have a 2 (which is 1) and divide it by the total number of sections (which is 2).
Therefore, the probability of landing on a 2 is 1/2.
Based on this explanation, the correct answer choices would be A (1/2) and E (50%). So your choice of E is correct, but 0.1 is incorrect as it does not accurately represent the probability.
