Questions: Use the spinner below. P(9 or 5)=1/6

Transcript text: Use the spinner below. \[ P(9 \text { or } 5)=\frac{1}{6} \]

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Count the total number of possible outcomes

The spinner has 12 equally likely outcomes (1 through 12).

Step 2: Count the number of favorable outcomes

We want to find the probability of landing on 9 or 5. There is one outcome resulting in a 9 and one resulting in a 5. Therefore, there are two favorable outcomes.

Step 3: Calculate the probability

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. In this case, the probability of landing on 9 or 5 is 2/12, which simplifies to 1/6.

Final Answer

1/6
