Question

assume that the spinner to the right cannot land on a line. assume all sectors of the spinner are the same size. complete parts (a) through (c) below. (a) give the probability that the spinner shown would land on red. the probability is □ (type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total number of sections

The spinner is divided into 3 equal - sized sections. So, the total number of possible outcomes \(n = 3\).

Step2: Determine the number of favorable outcomes

The number of sections that are red \(m=1\).

Step3: Calculate the probability

The probability formula is \(P=\frac{m}{n}\). Substituting \(m = 1\) and \(n = 3\), we get \(P=\frac{1}{3}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{3}\)
