If all possible results are equally likely, what is the probability that a spin of the spinner will land on an upper case letter or a consonant?
spinner
There are 26 upper case letters in the alphabet and 21 consonants.
The total number of possible outcomes is the sum of the upper case letters and consonants, which is 26 + 21 = 47.
The probability of landing on an upper case letter or a consonant is the number of favorable outcomes (26 + 21 = 47) divided by the total number of possible outcomes (26 + 21 = 47), which is 47/47 = 1.
Therefore, the probability is 1 or 100%.
