the spinner is equally likely to land on any of the five sections. what is the probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section? (\frac{1}{5}) (\frac{2}{5}) (\frac{3}{5}) (\frac{4}{5})

the spinner is equally likely to land on any of the five sections. what is the probability that the spinner lands on an even number or on the unshaded section? (\frac{1}{5}) (\frac{2}{5}) (\frac{3}{5}) (\frac{4}{5})

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify favorable outcomes

Even - numbered sections are 2 and 4. Unshaded section is 3. So favorable outcomes are 2, 3, 4.

Step2: Calculate probability

Total number of sections is 5. Probability $P=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}=\frac{3}{5}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{5}$
