A wheel is divided into 6 segments from the center toward circumference and labeled from the left as S, T, H, O, N, and E. The arrow of a needle points to O on the right and the circular end points to S on the left.
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)
The sample space consists of all possible outcomes when spinning the spinner, which includes landing on each of the 6 labeled sections (S, T, H, O, N, and E). Out of these 6 outcomes, only 2 sections are unshaded (H and T).
Therefore, the probability of landing on an unshaded section in the sample space is 2/6 or 1/3.
