think about spinning this spinner, which is
divided into 8 equal segments. Give the probability in simplest form.
P(2) =
Without knowing what the spinner looks like or what the options are, it is impossible for me to determine the probability of landing on a 2. Please provide more information.
To find the probability of landing on a specific segment, we need to know the number of favorable outcomes (landing on the desired segment) and the total number of possible outcomes (the number of segments on the spinner).
In this case, the spinner is divided into 8 equal segments, so the total number of possible outcomes is 8.
To find the number of favorable outcomes, we need to know which segment we are interested in. Since you mentioned P(2), we are looking for the probability of landing on segment 2.
If we assume that the segments on the spinner are numbered clockwise from 1 to 8, then there is only 1 favorable outcome (segment 2).
Therefore, the probability of landing on segment 2 (P(2)) is:
P(2) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 1 / 8
Thus, the probability is 1/8.
