7. consider the spinner below. what is the probability of each outcome in the sample space? write each as a fraction, decimal, and a percent.\np(yellow) p(green) p(blue) p(red)\nfraction\ndecimal\npercent
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Count total sections
The spinner has 12 equal - sized sections.
Step2: Calculate P(Yellow)
There are 2 yellow sections. So $P(\text{Yellow})=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}\approx0.167 = 16.7%$
Step3: Calculate P(Green)
There are 3 green sections. So $P(\text{Green})=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 = 25%$
Step4: Calculate P(Blue)
There are 4 blue sections. So $P(\text{Blue})=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\approx0.333 = 33.3%$
Step5: Calculate P(Red)
There are 3 red sections. So $P(\text{Red})=\frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 = 25%$
Answer:
| Fraction | Decimal | Percent | |
|---|---|---|---|
| P(Yellow) | $\frac{1}{6}$ | 0.167 | 16.7% |
| P(Green) | $\frac{1}{4}$ | 0.25 | 25% |
| P(Blue) | $\frac{1}{3}$ | 0.333 | 33.3% |
| P(Red) | $\frac{1}{4}$ | 0.25 | 25% |
