Chapter 12, Problem 39CR

To determine

Find the probability $P\left(5\right)$ .

Answer to Problem 39CR

  $\frac{1}{6}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Spinner,

  

Calculation:

Consider the probability of any event,

  $P\left(event\right)=\frac{numberoffavorableoutcomes}{numberofpossibleoutcomes}$

Number of possible outcomes are six and number of (odd) favorable outcome the landing wheel on $5is1$ .

  $P\left(5\right)=\frac{1}{6}$

Hence, $P\left(5\right)$ is $\frac{1}{6}$ .
