I suppose I'd need to see the spinner, eh?

anonymous · Answer

Its a standard round spinner numbered 1-8

anonymous · Answer

If each possibility is equally likely, then the probability of a success is

$$\frac{\text{number of desirable outcomes}}{\text{total number of possible outcomes}}$$

anonymous · Answer

The answer to a & b are 0. I just dont know why??

kropot72 · Answer

Basewd on the information that is given and your information the answers to a & b cannot both be probability = 0

anonymous · Answer

WHy do you say that they are 0? A 0 probability means that they CAN'T happen. WHy wouldn't I be able to spin an odd number? Surely that is possible.

anonymous · Answer

That's the problem I'm having. We were given the answers but have to find the equation making the answer true. I don't agree with the answers either! 0 does not make sense to me!
