Q. A spinner for a board-game is divided into four equal-sized sections colored red, green, yellow, and blue. If you land on a line between the colors, you keep spinning until you land on a color. Mamadou's turn is next. Which word or phrase describes the probability that he will land on yellow or blue or green?

\newline

likely

\newline

certain

\newline

impossible

\newline

unlikely

Understand the problem: Understand the problem. $\newline$ We need to determine the probability that Mamadou will land on either yellow, blue, or green on a spinner divided into four equal sections.
Determine favorable outcomes: Determine the total number of favorable outcomes. Since Mamadou can land on yellow, blue, or green, there are $3$ favorable outcomes.
Determine possible outcomes: Determine the total number of possible outcomes. $\newline$ There are $4$ possible outcomes in total (red, green, yellow, and blue).
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability. $\newline$ The probability of landing on one of the favorable outcomes (yellow, blue, or green) is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. $\newline$ Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of possible outcomes $\newline$ Probability = $\frac{3}{4}$
Interpret probability: Interpret the probability. $\newline$ A probability of $\frac{3}{4}$ means that there is a $75\%$ chance of landing on yellow, blue, or green. This is a high probability, so we would describe it as ＂likely.＂
