Transcript text: The spinner shown is spun. (Assume that the size of each sector is the same.) Find the probability of the events in parts (a) through (g). a. The number is a factor of 35. $\mathrm{P}($ factor of 35$)=\frac{3}{8}$ (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) b. The number is a multiple of 3 . $P($ multiple of 3$)=$ $\square$ (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the total number of sectors

The spinner has 8 sectors, each with an equal probability of being landed on.

Step 2: Determine the factors of 35

The factors of 35 are 1, 5, and 7.

Step 3: Count the sectors that are factors of 35

The sectors that are factors of 35 are 1, 5, and 7. There are 3 such sectors.

Final Answer

The probability that the number is a factor of 35 is \(\frac{3}{8}\).

Step 1: Identify the multiples of 3 on the spinner

The multiples of 3 on the spinner are 3 and 6.

Step 2: Count the sectors that are multiples of 3

The sectors that are multiples of 3 are 3 and 6. There are 2 such sectors.

Final Answer

The probability that the number is a multiple of 3 is \(\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}\).
