Question

what is the probability the spinner stops on yellow? .05 1/2 3/8 1/3

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total sections

The spinner has 8 equal - sized sections.

Step2: Count yellow sections

There are 3 yellow - colored sections (sections 1, 3, 7).

Step3: Use probability formula

Probability \(P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}\). Here, number of favorable outcomes (yellow) \(n = 3\), total number of outcomes \(N=8\). So \(P=\frac{3}{8}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{3}{8}\)
