Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyzing the spinner

The spinner is divided into three sections: D, E, and F. Each section appears to have the same area.

Step 2: Calculating P(D)

Since the spinner has three equal sections, the probability of landing on D is 1/3.

Step 3: Calculating P(E)

The probability of landing on E is also 1/3.

Step 4: Calculating P(F)

The probability of landing on F is also 1/3.

Final Answer:

(a) P(D) = 1/3 (b) P(E) = 1/3 (c) P(F) = 1/3
