p(5) =
question help: video

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total number of outcomes

The spinner has 12 equal - sized sections. So, the total number of possible outcomes \( n(S)=12 \).

Step2: Determine number of favorable outcomes

There is 1 section with the number 5. So, the number of favorable outcomes \( n(E) = 1 \).

Step3: Use the probability formula

The probability formula is \( P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)} \). Substituting \( n(E) = 1 \) and \( n(S)=12 \), we get \( P(5)=\frac{1}{12} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{12}\)
