Question

a spinner is divided into equal sections of three possible colors. there are 2 yellow sections, 2 blue sections, and 4 red sections. use the drop - down menus to complete the statements about the likelihood of the given events related to the spinner. click the arrows to choose an answer from each menu. spinning a blue is choose... spinning a yellow or red is choose... spinning a choose... is impossible. spinning a choose... is neither likely nor unlikely.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total sections

Total sections = 2 (yellow) + 2 (blue) + 4 (red) = 8

Step2: Probability of blue

Probability = $\frac{2}{8} = 0.25$ (unlikely)

Step3: Probability of yellow or red

Sections = 2 + 4 = 6; Probability = $\frac{6}{8} = 0.75$ (likely)

Step4: Impossible color

Any color not yellow/blue/red (e.g., green)

Step5: Neither likely nor unlikely

Probability ~0.5; No color here, but if options exist, check balance

Answer:

Spinning a blue is unlikely.
Spinning a yellow or red is likely.
Spinning a [color not present, e.g., green] is impossible.
(Note: For the last statement, no color in the spinner has a 0.5 probability, so if options include a balanced color, select it; otherwise, confirm context.)

(Assuming standard options: The first two blanks are "unlikely" and "likely"; the third blank is a non-present color; the fourth blank may have no valid color from the spinner, but based on typical questions, the first two are as above.)
