Question

You are playing a game that has a spinner with six equal sections labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. What is the probability of spinning a four?

Answer 1

1/6

Answer 2

Since they are equal sections, you know that each section has an equal probability of being spun. Since there are six sections, and there is one four, probability is \[\frac{number in favor}{number total} = \frac{1}{6}\]
