Referring to the Fig. in Question #7, think about spinning this spinner, which is
divided into 8 equal segments. Give the probability in simplest form.
P(3) =
1/8
To find the probability of landing on a 3 when spinning the spinner, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (landing on 3) divided by the total number of possible outcomes.
Given that the spinner is divided into 8 equal segments, the total number of possible outcomes is 8.
Since there is only one segment labeled with a 3, the number of favorable outcomes is 1.
Therefore, P(3) = favorable outcomes / total outcomes = 1/8.
The probability of landing on a 3 when spinning the spinner is 1/8.
