You spin the spinner once. 4-5-6-7 What is P(6)? 3/5 1/4 1/3 1/2

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

so each of the four options are equally as likely , right?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

It really is no different from last time; number of good outcomes over total number of outcomes just so happens that in this setup, there is just one "good" outcome and HOW many total outcomes? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 Total Outcomes And 4 Possible Outcomes? I Don't Know!!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the possible out comes are 4, 5, 6, 7

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Relax... count them... the outcomes... 4....5...6...7... so... how many total ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

and how many of these outcomes are a 6?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That's right, and we're looking for P(6) or the probability that you spin a 6... Only one good outcome and 4 total... so what are the chances (probability) ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

whoops... prempted.... sorry Unkle :|

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

. . .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omigod.. I Still Don't Understand/!

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

@Laken reread what terenzreignz has already posted,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

and that makes sense right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh.! Okay!
