Question

you spin the spinner once. what is p(even)? simplify your answer and write it as a fraction or whole number.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify total outcomes

The spinner has 4 equal sections (numbers 2, 3, 4, 5), so total possible outcomes \( n = 4 \).

Step2: Identify favorable outcomes (even numbers)

Even numbers on the spinner: 2, 4. So number of favorable outcomes \( m = 2 \).

Step3: Calculate probability

Probability \( P(\text{even})=\frac{m}{n}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \).

Answer:

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