Question

in a game, you spin a spinner with 8 equal sections. the theoretical probability of landing on one section is:
a. 2/8
b. 3/8
c. 1/6
d. 1/8

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

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

Step2: Identify values

Number of favorable outcomes (landing on one specific section) \( = 1 \), total number of outcomes \(=8\)

Step3: Calculate probability

\( P=\frac{1}{8} \)

Answer:

d. \(\frac{1}{8}\)
