Question

give the probability that the spinner shown would land on (a) red, (b) yellow, and (c) blue. assume all sectors of the spinner are the same size. (a) the probability that the spinner shown would land on red is $\frac{1}{3}$. (type an integer or a simplified fraction.) (b) the probability that the spinner shown would land on yellow is $\square$. (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the probability formula

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\)

Step2: Determine the number of favorable and total outcomes

The spinner is divided into 3 equal - sized sectors.
For part (b), the number of favorable outcomes (landing on yellow) is \(n = 1\), and the total number of outcomes \(N=3\)
So, \(P=\frac{1}{3}\)

Answer:

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