A spinner labeled with the letters of the word HONEST is to be spun once. Describe the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space. (1 point)
A. 1/2
B. 1/6
C. 1/3
D. 3
The word HONEST has 6 letters, so there are 6 sections on the spinner. Out of the 6 sections, 3 of them are unshaded (H, O, and T).
Therefore, the probability of landing on an unshaded section is 3 out of 6, which simplifies to 1/2.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. 1/2
