if a spinner s numbered 1-10, what is the probability of it landing on a multiple of 2?
To find the probability of the spinner landing on a multiple of 2, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes (landing on a multiple of 2) and the total number of possible outcomes.
In this case, the favorable outcomes are the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. These are the multiples of 2 between 1 and 10.
The total number of possible outcomes is 10, as the spinner has 10 numbers labeled from 1 to 10.
Therefore, the probability of the spinner landing on a multiple of 2 is given by the formula:
Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)
In this case, the probability is:
Probability = 5 (Number of favorable outcomes) / 10 (Total number of possible outcomes)
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Probability = 1/2
So, the probability of the spinner landing on a multiple of 2 is 1/2 or 50%.
