Question

you spin the spinner once. what is p(8)? write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total number of sections

The spinner has 3 sections.

Step2: Determine the number of favorable sections

The number of sections with the number 8 is 1.

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is \(P(\text{event})=\frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}\). So \(P(8)=\frac{1}{3}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{3}\)
