Question

What is the probability that the arrow will stop on a number that is greater than 5?

Answer 1

since there are 4 numbers which are greater than 5

Answer 2

Try to apply what you learned from the previous question. How many possible outcomes are there if you spin this wheel?

How many of them are greater than 5?

Answer 3

4

Answer 4

Great. Thus, "4 successes out of 10" leads to what theoretical probability?

Answer 5

4/9

Answer 6

Count the number of possible outcomes. How many are there?

Answer 7

4

Answer 8

There are 4 outcomes which are greater than 5. Yes. But how many TOTAL possible outcomes?

Answer 9

9

Answer 10

I count 10. Try counting again.

Answer 11

10 bc 0 to

Answer 12

So, 4 of these 10 possible outcomes are numbers greater than 5.
What is the probability of the wheel's stopping on such an outcome?

Answer 13

It's not 4/9.

Answer 14

5/9

Answer 15

How's that again?

4 possible successes
------------------ = ?
10 possible outcomes

Answer 16

4/10 is not a answer choice

Answer 17

How many numbers do you see here: 1,2 ?

How many numbers do you see here: 0,1,2 ?

Answer 18

Have you tried reducing that fraction?

Answer 19

no

Answer 20

Why not do that, then?

Answer 21

2/5

Answer 22

and so ... ?

Answer 23

i got 2/5

Answer 27

is the answerr

Answer 28

Review:

4 successes out of 10 => probability of success is 4/10.

4/10, in reduced format, is 2/5.
