Question

what is the probability the spinner stops on yellow?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of sections

The spinner has 8 sections.

Step2: Count yellow - colored sections

There are 4 yellow - colored sections.

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability formula is \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, number of favorable outcomes (yellow sections) is 4 and total number of outcomes (total sections) is 8. So \(P = \frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
