Here is an octagonal spinner (Fig A). 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are
marked on it. Write the probabilities of occurrence of the following
events.
a Spinner lands on 4. P(4) =
b Spinner lands on an even number. P(even)
c Spinner lands on ten. P(10) =
d Spinner lands on a number less than 4.
P(less than 4) =
e P(less than 9) =
f P(3 to 6)-
Dear Student,
In the given question, Since there are 8 possibilities when we spin the wheel, Total no. of outcomes=8
(a)Favourable no. of outcomes = 1 (Since only one portion is marked 4)
(b)Favourable no. of outcomes = 4 (Since there are four portions marked with an even number , namely, 2,4,6,8)
(c)Favourable no. of outcomes=0 (Since there is no potion marked with 10)
(d)Favourable no. of outcomes= 3 (Since there are 3 numbers less than 4 namely 1,2,3)
(e)Favourable no. of outcomes=8 (Since all numbers are less than 9)
(f) Favourable no. of outcomes=4 (i.e. 3,4,5,6)
Regards
