- The number is even.
H. The number is less than 3.
I. The number is a multiple of 5.
Find the event that is least likely to occur.
Answer to Problem 2STP
I
Explanation of Solution
Given:
You spin a spinner that has 8 equal − sized sections numbered 1 to 8 .
Formula Used :
Calculation:
Total number of sections on the spinner = 8
Number of even numbers on spinner = 4 = {2,4,6,8}
Number of sections that have number greater than 3 =5 = {4,5,6,7,8}
Number of sections that have number less than 3 = 2 = {1,2}
Number of sections that have number that is multiple of 5 = 1 = {5}
Since getting a multiple of 5 has the least probability.
So, the correct option is I.
