Q. A spinner is divided into 5 equal sections. When the spinner is spun, what is the probability of the events listed below?
Identify sections: Since the spinner is divided into 5 equal sections, each section has an equal chance of being landed on. To find the probability of landing on one section, we use the formula for probability: Probability =Total number of outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes. Here, the number of favorable outcomes is 1 (landing on one specific section), and the total number of outcomes is 5 (all sections).
Calculate probability: Calculate the probability: Probability = 51.
